  • 2. Take a photo

    Take a close-up of the crane in good lighting, have someone take a photo of you holding your crane in your palm, or take a photo with friends and family.

  • 3. Craft your message

    Write a message about why we must move closer to, not further from, a world without nuclear weapons. It could be as simple as a single word or phrase.

  • 4. Post on your social media starting August 4

I’m joining #CranesForOurFuture because I want future generations to live in a world free of nuclear weapons.

Every August, I fold a paper crane to honor those lost in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and to dream of a future where no one ever again has to suffer from these immoral weapons. #CranesForOurFuture.

Join me in folding a paper crane before August 9 and help send a message to our leaders that we need to move closer, not further from, a world without nuclear weapons.

Sadako Sasaki would have turned 80 this year. I’m sharing this paper crane to hope for a world where no country feels it’s acceptable to even threaten the lives of children with nuclear weapons.
