The CCWA nuclear-free campaign pays its deepest respects to the memories of those who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and express our profound gratitude to the  hibakusha or survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and people around the world who have been affected by the nuclear weapons industry for their tireless efforts to remind the world of the inhumanity of the horrifying weapons of mass destruction. 

This anniversary is a timely reminder for our efforts to keep WA uranium free and not fuel this toxic and dangerous industry.
