Dear { FirstName },
Eighty years after the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we need to take this moment to press for the elimination of omnicidal weaponry. See the resources below, including the new online course that starts today. And check out the incredible video of our recent awards event with Roger Waters and Ralph Nader. Also see below the new report with which we have brought the major media in Canada to discuss the ongoing Canadian armament of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. There is much more — keep reading.

News from Around the World
No, Nuking Cities Did Not Save Lives
It’s oddly encouraging that the New York Post had to bring up its kookiest rightwing propagandist on Friday to argue that nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved lives. It’s even more encouraging that the Post felt obliged to expand the usual definition of “lives” to include the lives of Japanese people, claiming that nuking people saved not only U.S. lives but also Japanese lives — an argument it would have been very hard to find even being attempted during the early decades of this myth.
