Hiroshima and Nagasaki Days -- August 6 to 9
Hiroshima and Nagasaki Days -- August 6 to 9 -- are now almost upon us. The DISARM UPDATE has been carrying action and organizing resources since May. Report your plans to the WILPF DISARM committee for sharing with other Branches and on the national event register. Check out our Hiroshima-Nagasaki Days and Nuclear Free Future Month page for items you can use, including a petition from the Burlington WILPF Branch calling on Congress to declare August 6 national Nuclear Disarmament Day. We plan to deliver it to Congress in September.
WILPF is also co-sponsoring the United For Peace and Justice national web site and event register now available at http://www.nuclearfreefuture.org/ . You will find there many additional resources, action ideas, and a place where you can enter plans for your own events and read descriptions of others. In addition WILPF has joined UFPJ in designating the whole of August as Nuclear Free Future month. So we can join many others the whole month long in collecting petitions, vigiling, asking questions of candidates, joining in legislative action, educating ourselves and our communities and finding ways to lift high our demands for nuclear disarmament. This is the right time!
