Thank you for showing your support for a future without nuclear weapons.
Fold a Crane for Peace
Between August 6-9, to honor the anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thousands of people shared a paper crane for peace to show the world that a safer, freer future is possible.
Cranes in Flight
Why This Moment Mattered
As war in Ukraine teeters on the nuclear brink and we sit on the precipice of a new nuclear arms race, we live with a reminder that we are just one miscalculation away from catastrophe.
On August 6-9, timed with the anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, people joined together to show that a more hopeful, peaceful future–where nuclear weapons have no place–is possible.
Why the Paper Crane?
Paper cranes are a universal symbol of peace. They gained global attention thanks to a young girl named Sadako, who survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, only to succumb to effects of severe radiation a decade later.
