Why
A gathering for nuclear justice in the Pacific - decolonised, demilitarised, denuclearised and decarbonised.
RSVP on Action Network to let us know you're coming.
1 July marks 80 years since the USA began exploding nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands, and 2 July marks 60 years since France began dropping nuclear bombs in Mā'ohi Nui (French Occupied Polynesia).
The impacts of these detonations were catastrophic, and they continue a radioactive and toxic legacy in the bodies and lands of impacted communities.But the nuclear threat isn’t only historical. The continued existence of nuclear weapons, that are carried through continents and oceans continue a threat throughout the Pacific.
Join us to commemorate these significant anniversaries, and to hear from people fighting for nuclear justice in the Pacific, advocating for the need to dismantle the interconnected threats of nuclearisation, militarisation, colonisation and carbonisation.
- 6pm Candlelight vigil & commemoration – taking solidarity photo
- 6.30pm Shared dinner - more details to come
- 7pm Slideshow and story sharing circle
We'll be joined by special guests from the Pacific, on an Pacific Peace Pilgrimage to raise the profile of calls for nuclear justice in the Pacific and the role of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons to strengthen the nuclear-free status in the region, and support survivors and communities affected by the bomb.
Special Guests include:
- Reverend James Bhagwan, Pacific Conference of Churches
- Mere Tuilau, Fiji Nuclear Veterans and Families Association
This event is organised by the Pacific Conference of Churches, The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, Greenpeace and the Quakers. With thanks to our co-hosts for supporting!
