This year marks the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children.
As part of our work in commemorating the anniversary, and telling the stories of those who lived through the bombings, today we are launching the CND Peace Crane challenge – will you take part?
We’re asking supporters to get sponsored by family and friends to fold origami peace cranes, to raise money to help our campaign against nuclear weapons so the world never has to see another Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Our suggested target is 75 cranes – one for each year since the bomb was dropped – but you can of course set your own target instead.
Everyone can take part, and you don’t need any previous experience of origami – we have a variety of guides available to help you. And by taking the challenge, you can help us continue to campaign for a nuclear-free world. So if you’d like to help, then sign up for CND’s Peace Crane challenge today.
