SUMMARY:Nagasaki Day Observance and Philly Anti-War 'REACH-OUT' to Support the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
DESCRIPTION: \nOn August 9\, 1945\, three days after the atomic incineration of Hiroshima\, the U.S. dropped its second nuclear bomb\, code-named “Fat Man”\, on Nagasaki\, Japan\, killing an estimated 40\,000 people\, and thousands more from the delayed effects of radiation poisoning. Often called the “forgotten nuclear city”\, Nagasaki\, at the time\, was the largest Christian population throughout all of Asia. Ground zero for the second bombing was the St. Mary’s Urakami Cathedral. \nThe time has come to abolish nuclear nuclear weapons. \nOn July 7\, 2017 –- following a decade of advocacy by International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) and its partners -– an overwhelming majority of the world’s nations adopted a landmark global agreement to ban nuclear weapons\, known officially as the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. It will enter into legal force once 50 nations have signed and ratified it. \nThe treaty was negotiated at the United Nations headquarters in New York in March\, June and July 2017\, with the participation of more than 135 nations\, as well as members of civil society. It opened for signature on 20 September 2017. It is permanent in nature\, and will be legally binding on those nations that join it. \nAll nine nuclear armed nations abstained from the treaty’s adoption. \nThe United States along with Russia possesses 90% of existing nuclear weapons. \nSUPPORT the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons\, http://www.icanw.org/the-treaty . \nAugust 9\, 4p.m.\, west side plaza Phila.
