Sixty-six years ago, on August 9, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki. Join the procession to remember the dead and demand the abolition of nuclear power and weapons.
The procession is about .8 miles long, will go by the farmer's market downtown and Armory Square, ending on the MOST lawn with the Community Affirmation for Peace. We will have rides available for those who need a lift back to their cars.
This is a theatrical procession with props - please wear white or light colored clothing to enhance the dramatic effect.
Organized by SPC and Peace Action. Download fliers or handbills to spread the word.
