Beyond Nuclear - NUCLEAR WEAPONS

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Apologies if you have already received this alert.

Please see the Beyond the Bomb action alert below. Please consider signing your group onto Beyond the Bomb's organizational sign-on letter to the International Olympics Committee (deadline End of Day, Monday, August 2nd), which follows the lead of former Hiroshima Mayor Akiba's petition for individual sign-on, also linked below. Thank you.

Subject: Fwd: Moment of silence at the Olympics
To: #StillHere Coalition <stillhere-coalition@rethinkmedia.org>

Hi All,

I wanted to share the below note from Yasmeen at Beyond the Bomb.

It's about an effort to get the Olympics to hold a moment of silence on the 6th to mark the anniversary of the attack on Hiroshima. You'll see there is both an organizational sign-on letter and a petition for individuals (which I believe Jackie Cabasso flagged a few weeks ago). It'd be great if we could amplify this effort so please join in and share widely.

Time is running short so the goal deadline is EOD on Monday the 2nd.

Hope everyone is doing well, I know a lot of folks are doing a lot of great work right now!

John

Hi all,

Just following up on the conversation during our call and the email that Daryl sent around earlier this week. As a means to show organizational support for Mayor Akiba's petition, we have created a sign on letter that we plan to send to the IOC early next week.

I hope your organization will sign on, the deadline is EOD Monday 8/2. You can find the language and sign-on form here. Please spread the word! (This form is only for organizations to sign on, if you want to sign as an individual, please use the original petition from Mayor Akiba, found here.)
