Sacramento August Peace Event 2020

75 Years After Hiroshima/Nagasaki: Rolling Back the Nuclear Arsenal

A virtual livestream event co-sponsored by Sacramento Friends Meeting. The regional event is also part of a two-day national virtual event (www.HiroshimaNagasaki75.org/events).

Access Sacramento will also air the program on Sunday, August 9 at 8pm, August 10 at noon, and August 11 at 4am.

In August 1945, the United States became the only country in history to deploy nuclear bombs in a conflict. At a time when we are facing a renewed nuclear arms race, and the US has withdrawn from most nuclear weapon control agreements and treaties, a number of faith-based and peace advocacy organizations in the Sacramento Region have come together to ask the community to consider these most terrible weapons of mass destruction. We have produced an hour-long virtual event that commemorates the nuclear explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It addresses a number of moral, environmental and public health issues involved with the possession and deployment of nuclear explosives, and how we can grapple with those issues.
