Reminder:
The Western NC Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility  will hold a memorial vigil for the victims of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on Friday, August 9th, 2024 at Pack Square Park. We will gather from 4 to 6 pm  at  Pack Square Park  (Used to be called Vance Monument site). Bring your posters, bring your friends. We will have handouts, plants, and community.
Almost eighty years have passed, and the world is still on the brink. The horror and inhumanity of August 1945 must not be forgotten. We stand together to say NEVER AGAIN!
