Dear James,

Seventy-seven years ago this week, a nightmare unfolded in Japan.

Two nuclear bombs, dropped from American B-29s on Aug. 6 and 9, leveled the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At least 110,000 people—mostly civilians—were killed. Thousands more died in the coming weeks, months, and years due to radiation exposure.

With that carnage came an enduring lesson: The world can never know true peace so long as nuclear weapons exist. 

The threat of nuclear confrontation with Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran is growing. Right here in the United States, thousands continue to suffer the health consequences of nuclear testing without proper compensation from the government.

Every voice matters. We hope you’ll join us in taking action!

Write Congress
Allen Hester

Sincerely,

Allen Hester

Legislative Representative
Nuclear Disarmament and Pentagon Spending
