Phase Out Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear Power
Join a national network of groups working to eliminate nuclear weapons and oppose new nuclear power plants.
No More Hiroshimas
Every August 6th and 9th, the anniversaries of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thousands of people hold events and call for an end to the production of nuclear warheads. The events recognize the devastation caused by nuclear weapons and memorialize the many victims of bomb production at every step—from uranium mining to production, testing and use.
Contact these groups to find out how you can support the campaign to eliminate nuclear weapons.
