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.

"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.

Jongkeun Lee was 16 years old when he survived the atomic bomb, reminding us thousands of Korean people were also impacted by the nuclear bombings of Japan. Join Jongkeun and other Hibakusha to call for all nations to join the nuclear ban treaty.

"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.

Miyako Jodai was 6 years old, when the US used the nuclear bomb in Nagasaki. Raise your voice with Hibakusha like Miyako who declare that now is the time for all nations to join the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

 “The whole city was destroyed. You could see all the way to the Seto Inland Sea. It looked so near, like you could walk.” Raise your voice with Keiko and all Hibakusha who have been pushing to ban and eliminate nuclear weapons for decades.

I just learned about the harm caused to the downwinders community in New Mexico by the first nuclear explosion. 80 years of nuclear threats is long enough, let's make nuclear weapons history. #nuclearban

“A new type of bomb was dropped.” Watch Yoshie Oka's testimony (courtesy of Ari Beser's Goss Grove Films) of the moments after the US dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and join her call for an end to nuclear weapons.
