No more Hiroshimas.

My mother’s side of the family is from Hiroshima…

Every August, people around the world honor the victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In a world where the risk of nuclear catastrophe is rising, it’s more important than ever to remember and share these stories.

Eighty-one years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the voices of those who know the horror of nuclear weapons firsthand are fading from the planet. I’m proud to join @nti_wmd in uplifting their stories so that Nagasaki may be the last.

Today, as survivors age, we are losing the only living witnesses to this dark history. That’s why I’ve joined @nti_wmd to share their words. It’s up to us to keep these stories alive, and to ensure that future generations never lose sight of the human toll of nuclear weapons.
