Send a Message or Prayer of Peace. It will take you about 60 seconds, maybe a little longer. All you have to do is follow this link to our website: www.wagingpeace.org/sadako_message.htm

Next month, we will hold our 13th Annual Sadako Peace Day. Your message of peace will become part of our annual recognition of the Japanese girl named Sadako Sasaki who inspired efforts toward peace around the world – even as she was dying from the effects of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

This is what the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation will do with your message:

List it on our website.
Choose a selection of messages to read at our Sadako Peace Day Ceremony on August 9th.
Send all the messages of peace we receive to the President of the United States of America.

In this way, you can follow Sadako’s inspiration, and write out your hopes for peace so they may fly all over the world (via the Internet). See Sadako’s story at 2007/sadako_be_a_messenger.htm...

People often ask us how they can increase the peace. Sadako showed us one way. She never relinquished her hope for a better world. All we need to do is follow her lead.

One voice can become a powerful force for change when it joins millions of others all seeking the same thing.

Greetings Nuclear Activists; On Saturday, August 4, the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center's Nuclear Nexus Collective will have a display of photos and text of the history of nuclear bombs and the tragic, unconscionable bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan by the United States, 62 years ago. Photos with text and table full of information will be set up adjacent to the Farmers' Market, from Canyon Boulevard along 13th Street, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. It would be great to have people there at 8:00 AM to help with the set-up.

In addition, we'll have "Unofficial Ballots--A National referendum on the Future of Nuclear Weapons," for citizens to vote on the US $150 billion plan to modernize the nuclear weapons complex and build new nuclear weapons. Participants are urged to vote and sign and we'll send the ballots to Senators Allard and Salazar, and to Representative Udall or other representatives for visitors out of this congressional district. Later, during the Complex 2030 hearings, we'll present them to the Department of Energy.

We will also offer "Stop the Bombplex" postcards to be sent to Congress and to the Department of Energy.

As the Bush administration is suggesting a huge arms deal with Saudi Arabia that would include "advanced weaponry," not only for Saudi Arabia, but for the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and increased aid for Israel and Egypt, it becomes absolutely critical for nuclear activists to say, NO. We'll have a petition to sign to support the members of Congress who intend to fight this egregious plan. All this is related to US/Israel perceptions of Iran as a threat; and the increasing US push to attack Iran. This MUST be prevented.

We need activists to be there on Saturday to talk with people as they stop by.

Call Betty, (303) 444-6981 or Judith, (303) 447-9635 for information or to volunteer.

Weekly vigil since 2001 -- for the first two Saturdays in August, folks are especially invited to commemorate the Hiroshim and Nagasaki nuclear bombings, and to cry out "never again." Please bring your own signs, flags, and a peaceful attitude. These vigils are sociable, conversations often continue afterwards at a nearby gallery coffeeshop.

Nonviolence Training will be offered in Santa Fe, Santa Maria de la Paz Church, 9:00 a.m. - noon. Walk, Pray & Vigil For Peace at Los Alamos, 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
