"It's not enough to remember this just once a year; it's not enough that we make a single book -- Hiroshima
-- required reading, and never go beyond that. There should be a whole
canon that people study progressively, year by year, to grasp and retain
the horror of this."(See FIRE AND BLAST: A Curriculum that Confronts Nuclear Danger?)
It's wonderful to see more and more calls -- especially to young people
-- to do creative work (graphic art, video, etc.) on the subject of
nuclear disarmament.(See Art and Video for Nuclear Disarmament -- Calls and Contests)
The call for activism for nuclear disarmament in 2015 includes
encouragement for the faith community to help lead the way. Plans are
being developed for an interfaith service during the April 26, 2015, convergence in New York City. How will people of faith all over the country -- and around the world -- lift up the cause of nuclear disarmament in 2015? (See Ring Them Bells for Nuclear Disarmament in 2015 )
