9th Annual Interfaith Prayer Vigil
The Hiroshima-Nagasaki Day
Mobilization of Communities for the Elimination of design, manufacture, use and proliferation of Weapon of Mass Destruction
On August 6, 1945 first time ever Atomic Bomb was used to kill the innocent human beings, men, women and children, residents of Hiroshima and as if it was not enough, on August 9, 1945 another Atomic Bomb was used to kill the innocent residence of Nagasaki. We should always remember these days and the horror of war especially the horror of nuclear devastation. We should mobilize our communities at home and in the world to rise up against the design, manufacture, use and proliferation of Weapon of Mass Destruction including chemical, biological, and Nuclear weapon and the use of Depleted Uranium. War is a deception! And it does not solve any problem and issue. It only kills innocent people and spread devastation across this earth.
