NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT: PC New Mexico members on the radio today talking Hiroshima Day action, and other resources on nuclear disarmament

from Pax Christi New Mexico

Pax Christi New Mexico leader Bud Ryan and Pax Christi USA Ambassador of Peace Fr. John Dear will be live KSFR 101.1FM radio in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The program airs at 4pm Mountain Time (6pm EDT) and you can listen on their website ksfr.org. Simply click on the “Listen Live” link on the top left of the webpage. The program is entitled Living on the Edge with hosts David Bacon & Xubi Wilson talking about Pax Christi’s Sack Cloth & Ashes Action this Saturday, August 2nd at 2pm at Ashley Pond in Los Alamos in remembrance of what took place in Hiroshima and Nagasaki 69 years ago.

Also if you don’t have HBO or happened to miss John Oliver’s show, Last Week Tonight, this past Sunday night he did a brilliant piece on nukes which showed the current apathy regarding them today. That apathy is part of the reason that Bud Ryan and Stuart Overbey named their film, The Forgotten Bomb, and why it is so important to constantly voice our opinions on nuclear weapons to our elected officials. Please watch Mr. Oliver’s piece at this link:

Lastly if you’ve never read John Hersey’s Hiroshima, which tells the story of what happened on that horrible day August 6, 1945 through the eyes of 6 individuals who were there, you can do so by going to:

We all live with the terror of nuclear weapons hanging over our heads like a Sword of Damocles, and it is important for everyone to read about what could happen and what has happened to the people of Hiroshima & Nagasaki.
