From Awareness to Action: Creating a Nuclear Weapons Free World
The 2026 Hiroshima and Nagasaki Remembrance Event
Join Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility and community partners on August 6 for an evening marking the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Through remembrance and education, the program will explore how awareness of nuclear dangers can be transformed into meaningful action.
This year's event, From Awareness to Action: Creating a Nuclear Weapons Free World, will feature keynote speaker Dr. Robert “Bo” Jacobs, with Oregon PSR Executive Director Dr. Vincent Intondi serving as host for the evening. The program will also include poetry by Pat Hoover, musical performances by Shakuhachi and Portland Taiko, and a dance performance by Tsubaki Buyo Doukoukai.
The event will take place from 6:00–7:00 PM at the Japanese American Historical Plaza in Portland. All are welcome to attend as we honor the victims and survivors of nuclear weapons and reaffirm our commitment to building a safer, nuclear weapons-free world.
