NEVER AGAIN - NO MORE HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI
NO MORE VICTIMS - ABOLISH NUCLEAR WEAPONS

We stand together on the 6 August to:
  • Honour the more than 210,000 killed, and the many more injured, by the U.S. nuclear attack on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August,1945
  • Remember the victims of nuclear testing at Maralinga and Emu Plains in SA
  • Call for Australia's support for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
  • In support of Adelaide City Council's adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons by the United Nations in 2017, and the call on our national government to ratify it without delay (ICAN Campaign)
  • Protest that schools must not be used by the nuclear industry to socialise students to accept warfare as inevitable and that the nuclear industry is always a force for good
  • Remember that toxic nuclear waste destroys our environments.

The danger of nuclear war is ever present and without a powerful grassroots movement dedicated to nuclear abolition, the unthinkable, another Hiroshima or Nagasaki, is possible.
