At Council for a Livable World, we are proud to join @nti.org and @ploughshares.bsky.social in folding paper cranes to honor the victims of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Together, we can build a world without nuclear threats. #CranesForOurFuture www.cranesforourfuture.org

80 years ago today, the United States bombed Hiroshima with the first nuclear weapon ever used against another country. Today, as nuclear-armed countries build more nukes and modernize their nuclear arsenals, speak out against senseless new weapons: secure.everyaction.com/5nLT4Homg068...

We have scaled down the worldwide nuclear arsenal from 70,000, but we still have thousands more to go. Now 80 years since the dawn of the nuclear age, let's work together to finish the job. Let's stop arms racing and get rid of these horrific weapons once and for all.

At Council for a Livable World, we refuse to let the shadow of the mushroom cloud be the end of the story. A future without nuclear weapons is within our reach, and we'll continue fighting for a world in which our children can safely grow old. #HumanRaceNotArmsRace #NukeSky
