Exhibition Display: “Abolish Nuclear Weapons - the Lesson from Hiroshima & Nagasaki”

Madison, State Capitol Rotunda.

The Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation, headquartered in Japan, created the posters and is providing them at no charge because they believe they have a special role to play in helping others learn about the terrible devastation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused by nuclear weapons in 1945. They hope that as more people all over the world become aware of the truth of nuclear weapons they will demand their abolition. A coalition of Madison-area organizations and individuals is hosting the Exhibition.

Two specific goals are:

1) To get the abolition of nuclear weapons on the political agenda and

2) to generate public awareness so that citizens will participate in the public hearing on Saturday morning, February 16 at 10 a.m.in the Capitol to stop military plans for the new nuclear weapons program, "Complex Transformation," which at a cost of $150 billion would refurbish all nuclear weapons producing facilities.

If you would like to be a part of this work, as a docent at the exhibit, or by testifying at the Hearing on 2/16, or by bringing the Exhibition to your community, contact Lee Brown at leebrown807 [at] tds [dot] net
