PSR condemns any US nuclear weapons testing May 26, 2020
We are only months away from the 75th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Despite the memory of the lives lost 75 years ago, and the current reality of tens of thousands of American lives lost to COVID-19, this administration seems determined to lead us into a new nuclear arms race at a time when our focus needs to be on fighting this deadly pandemic, building our public health infrastructure, and supporting a community-focused economic recovery.
The last thing our government should be focusing on is pouring more resources into weapons that pose an even more dangerous threat to public health. Our doctors need personal protective equipment and test kits, not new nuclear tests.
