Remembering Hiroshima 75th Anniversary Peace Walk
PEACE WALK in MONTPELIER, Thursday, AUGUST 6th, 6:45 PM to 8:15 PM
Please note the start time is 6:45 pm. (At the rally against fascism on Saturday, the start time for the Peace Walk was erroneously announced as an earlier time.)

75 Years ago the U.S. dropped the first atomic bomb ever on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. We gather to acknowledge its horrific immediate and lasting effects--and to support each other in creating peace in whatever ways we can. The Peace Walk will start from the Kellogg-Hubbard Library lawn at 6:45 pm, proceed silently down State Street, stop while the Christ Church bell tolls 75 times, and arrive at a field at Montpelier High School. There we will each make our own commitment to building peace as we create a circle of lights.

In a world inflamed by wars and tensions, in a country torn by division whose president is removing us from international nuclear arms control agreements and proposing to resume nuclear testing, in the face of the global threats of a pandemic and climage change-- how do we find the peace and courage and wisdom within ourselves and in concert with others to help create a more peaceful world?

We ask that you wear masks and maintain 6' distancing (except for household members).

Cancelled in case of rain.
