I am pleased to invite you to the 2023 Annual Hiroshima and Nagasaki Memorial at the Japanese American Plaza on Waterfront Park (NW Naito Parkway and Couch Street) in Portland Oregon. Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility (OPSR) and our partner organizations will come together to mark the 78th anniversary of the atomic bombings on Wednesday, August 9th at 6:00 PM, where we will honor the lives lost to nuclear weapons and renew our commitment to building toward nuclear justice.
Our work towards a nuclear-free future cannot be possible without your generous financial support. Will you make a gift for nuclear justice today?

As the war in Ukraine ravages out of control, the existence of nuclear weapons remains a threat to all life on our planet. While 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons remain controlled by the US and Russia, momentum is growing for a nuclear-free future as the majority of countries in the world have come together to create the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), making nuclear weapons illegal under international law.
Oregonians must do our part to work for a nuclear-free future! We invite you to be a part of this year’s memorial event, which will feature the voices of communities most impacted by nuclear injustice and make clear the links to movements for racial, environmental, and social justice.
We are thrilled to announce a truly stellar lineup of performances and guest speakers alongside this year’s keynote Speaker, the new Executive Director of the Japanese American Museum of Oregon Hanako Wakatsuki-Chong. The event will be hosted by Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility.
With your support we can continue to advocate for a nuclear free future for all. Please consider making a donation to Oregon PSR so we can sustain our essential work.
