Hiroshima Commemoration

August 6 and 9 mark the 78^th anniversary of the nuclear bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The war in Ukraine, as well as this summer’s blockbuster movie Oppenheimer, have made many Americans aware of the existential threat of nuclear weapons. Join us as we remember their first victims and reflect on how we can together work for a world without nuclear weapons. Cities around the US are hosting commemorations of this important day with prayers, reflections, and appeals for peace. Come be a part of what is happening in Worcester.
