Commemoration and Vigil on the Anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Ventura Beyond War Team Members will join Citizens for Peaceful Resolutions at the Peace Pole in Plaza Park for our annual commemoration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki days. August 9 is the 64th anniversary of the use of nuclear weapons against a civilian population in Nagasaki. Come and hear the narratives of hibakusha and learn of the work of Mayors for Peace and the Campaign for a Nuclear Weapons Free World. Join us in meditation and hope for the new possibilities before us for the abolition of nuclear weapons.

I hope that I will be able to attend the Peace Vigil this Sunday. I am still
caring for my 96 year old mother after her stroke, full-time, but we may
be able to attend...if the weather is nice and she is feeling well.
Thank you for keeping me up to date on the CPR events! I miss everyone
and remember marching each Saturday at Plaza Park against beginning the war in Iraq......if only Bush had listened to the voices of people all over the world.

Great synergy with several related groups collaborating to produce the event. Please say more about Mayors for Peace. How can I get my mayor to be one?
