 \n\nHiroshima/Nagasaki Accord: 
 https://adc2905c-b2b8-43f8-8814-0d9ffadb5df6.filesusr.com/ugd/747fcd_713dcc33bfd948848c409dcf26a4b592.pdf\n\nUnited 
 Religions Initiative invites you through its Voices for a World Free of 
 Nuclear Weapons\ngroup to join the August 6 and 9 one-hour online global 
 event commemorating the \n75th Anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki 
 Atomic bombings as well as introducing \nthe Hiroshima/Nagasaki Accord to 
 reverse the race toward mutually assured destruction.\n\nThe 
 Hiroshima/Nagasaki Accord has been jointly issued by four of the world’s 
 largest interfaith/intercultural organizations: Charter for Compassion, 
 Religions for Peace, \nParliament of the World’s Religions and United 
 Religions Initiative, and endorsed by numerous faith organizations, peace 
 organizations, and international dignitaries.\n\nThese organizations have 
 come together motivated by the urgency concerning the alarming actions of 
 the nuclear nations. Walking away from safeguarding treaties, walking away 
 from verification, modernizing nuclear weapons and threatening to begin 
 testing again, all of which constitute a calamitous threat to the entire 
 world. We feel the statement provides practical and impactful actions that 
 can be taken to lead us toward a world free of nuclear weapons. \n\nThe 
 video presentation will feature former Soviet Union President Mikhail 
 Gorbachev and former US Secretary of State George Shultz to honor their 
 life-long dedication to nuclear abolition. A youth award will be given in 
 their name to Kehkashan Basu, President and Founder of Green Hope 
 Foundation (a URI member group).\n\nSpeakers will include: \n\n--Kazumi 
 Matsui, Mayor of Hiroshima\n--Tomihisa Taue, Mayor of Nagasaki\n--Sam Nunn, 
 former US Senator\n--Mohamed Elbaradei, Nobel Laureate and former Director 
 General \nof the International Atomic Energy Agency\n--Beatrice Fihn, 
 Executive Director International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons\nand 
 others\n___________________________________________________________\n\nLIVESTREAM
