As people across the United States and around the work prepare to mark the 75th anniversary of the A-bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – crimes against humanity that must never be repeated, leading nuclear disarmament and justice organizaitons have organized this webinar. Our goals

· Encourage actions across the United States and beyond in solidarity with the Japan Council against A- & H-Bombs global peace wave

· Counter the anticipated dishonest wave of propaganda that the A-bombings and sacrifices of the People of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were needed to end the Pacific War

· Build movement that understands and opposes the illegitimate uses of state power, from police brutality and institutionalized racism, to foreign military interventions and continued preparations for nuclear annihilation.
