Prevent Nuclear War —

Abolish Nuclear Weapons!

March 1st Remembering Bikini,

Marshall Islands

     March 1st is known as Bikini Day and Nuclear-Free and Independent Pacific Day. On March 1, 1954, the U.S. exploded a 10-megaton (10 million tons of dynamite equivalent) hydrogen bomb code-named Bravo on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. March 1, 2024, marks the 70th anniversary of the Bikini Nuclear explosion. Overall, hundreds of nuclear weapons have been tested in the Pacific by the U.S. Britain, and France.

      The March 1st (monthly 1st working day of the month at 11:45 AM) nuclear attack warning siren test is a reminder that we need to abolish all nuclear weapons before they abolish us. It is still important to stand in opposition to nuclear weapons and war in solidarity with people all around the Pacific and the world. There is no defense against nuclear weapons. The only shelter is peace and the elimination of nuclear weapons worldwide.

Join the weekly Hilo Peace Vigil every Friday from 3:30 to 5 PM at the downtown Hilo Post Office/Federal Building on Waianuenue Ave.

Peace organizing meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month at the Kea’au Community Center from 6 – 8 PM and available by Zoom.

Please spread the word. Mahalo.
