No More Hiroshima! No More Nagasaki! No Nukes! No Wars! No Profiteers!

An Action Tool Kit prepared by the United for Peace and Justice Nuclear Disarmament Working Group.

As carried out against Iraq and threatened against Iran, the specter of nuclear weapons in the hands of "rogue" states has become the United States' number one excuse for waging war. Yet the threatened first use of nuclear weapons remains the "cornerstone" of U.S. national security policy. The U.S. has about 10,000 nuclear weapons, is designing new ones, and is pouring billions of dollars into its nuclear weapons research and production complex! Who is threatening whom?

The assassination of Nagasaki Mayor Iccho Itoh on April 17th of this year tragically underscores the daily violence all too familiar in our world. A popular political figure and advocate for the A-bomb survivors of Nagasaki, Mayor Itoh campaigned tirelessly for the abolition of nuclear weapons, but his life was cut short by a bullet. Whether from small arms or nuclear weapons, the threat and use of violence to solve problems is untenable. The very best way for us to honor the victims and survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is to work for a world without nuclear weapons and war.
