DC Nuclear Prayer Day Vigil

80th Anniversaries of Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Join us on August 6 in Washington, DC to mark Nuclear Prayer Day, a global prayerful commemoration of these anniversaries. A world united in moments of silence, in words spoken from the heart, and in a sure vision of a world beyond nuclear weapons – such moments will anchor and sustain our commitment as we work together to bring an end to the nuclear threat.

This event will feature prayers for a world free of nuclear weapons, reflections from faith leaders and the nuclear disarmament community, music, and calls to action to support legislative measures and educational efforts to build a movement to halt and reverse the nuclear arms race.

Nuclear Prayer Day is organized by Voices for a World Free of Nuclear Weapons (a part of the United Religions Initiative) and invites all individuals of good will and all organizations of concern to draw strength from each one’s deepest convictions and longings for a better future on Nuclear Prayer Day, August 6.
