On the 77th Anniversary of the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima, we take time to think of all of those around the world that have died due to nuclear weapons.   We keep carrying on the stories and messages from those survivors of atomic bomb explosions, the hibukasha across the world and their descendants suffering to this day due to their exposure.  Whether at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Maralinga and Emu Field, the Marshall Islands or Turtle Island.

Let us not forget that nuclear weapon exist due to the mining of uranium and the destructive impacts of the nuclear chain begin from the very first moment that uranium is dug up.

Firstly, we pay tribute to a very special artist and activist that passed last week, Archie Roach.   We send out our deepest condolences to his family friends the local community here in Kulin Lands  of Fitzroy that he was such a special part of, and to all those moved by his powerful message of peace justice and human understanding.

We hear from Hibakusha, Setsuko Thurlow, with her powerful survivors account of the firsthand experience of nuclear weapons.

Then we're joined by Margaret Williamson, a member of the Unitarian Peace Memorial Church and the Anti AUKUS Coalition who’s one of the organisers of the ‘No More Hiroshima’s - Peace Not War’ rally at the State Library of Victoria in Naarm Melbourne on Saturday 6 August at 12.30pm.
