Did you know the first nuclear weapon blew up in New Mexico? People were thrown from their beds & radioactive ash fell for days. Now nuclear weapons are banned, and every country needs to get rid of them. Help make it happen. #nuclearban

Nuclear weapons violate the Right to Life to the Right to Health- they are also a major problem when it comes to Eliminating Discrimination Against Women. On International Human Rights day, stand with us for human rights and an end to nuclear weapons.

As long as nuclear weapons are around, everything I love is at risk. That's why I support ICAN, the global movement working with governments, elected officials, int'l organisations and everyone who wants to help get rid of these weapons forever. Check them out-

The #TPNW means nuclear weapons are illegal, illegitimate, & indefensible. It has: ✔️ Banned nuclear threats 🚫 ✔️ Centred nuclear justice ⚖️ ✔️ Cut financial support 💰 ✔️ United people to say: #NuclearBan forever. 👥

5 years ago today, the world took a stand for a safer future. Happy entry into force anniversary to the #NuclearBan Treaty! Today, as we celebrate the strides made towards a safer world, we also celebrate our advocacy for disarmament and our contribution to a global movement for lasting peace!

The hibakusha from Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and all nuclear weapons survivors are entrusting us with their stories.We must ensure their memories do not fade. By holding their memory, we carry their fight forward. #NihonHidankyo #NuclearBan #CranesOfMemory

For 80 years the hibakusha courageously shared the experience of living through atomic bombings and demanding an end to nuclear weapons. The #NuclearBan is our best path forward, and after 80 years, the time has come to make nuclear weapons history.

This year, on the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we honour the hibakusha and all nuclear weapons survivors by holding their stories close and carrying their legacy forward. 📄 Adopt a story. Fold a paper crane. Hold their memory in your hands. By sharing your crane, you help ensure their courage, their pain, and their call for a nuclear-free world are never forgotten. #NuclearBan #HoldTheMemory #Hiroshima80 #Nagasaki80

"It is up to people like me, like you, to stand up against these weapons and the leaders who threaten the world with them," says Koko Kondo who was only eight months old when her city was destroyed by the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. #nuclearban

"Some people were burned, some were injured, some had babies in their arms, some couldn't walk, and some were lying there…" Rumi Hanagaki was five when the US dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. She  works to make sure these stories are not forgotten.

Two-year-old Kimino (left) and five-year-old Hirono (right) were killed by the nuclear attack on Hiroshima. Their story, and many others can be found on the Children's Peace Memorial. 80 years later, we must remember so we don't repeat this horror again.

Across the globe, leaders commemorated the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki 80 years ago. Now they need to move from commemoration to commitment at the UN in September, will you join me and demand action?
