On August 6 and 9, 1945, the U.S. stunned the world by dropping atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, and killed many more than 100,000 people.
Since then the U.S. and eight other nations have built many, many more nuclear weapons (mostly the U.S. and Russia) that are vastly more deadly than those two “small” ones.
The year 2020 will mark the 75th anniversary of those horrible bombings. Make this year meaningful. Please sign this petition to demand Congress pledge for global nuclear disarmament:
