Greenpeace launches global movement for peace

Sixty years after atomic bombs devastated the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, help Greenpeace rid the world of nuclear weapons forever - with balloons.

In 1945, just two nuclear weapons caused the deaths of more than 300,000 people. In 2005, more than 30,000 nuclear weapons threaten us all.

The world's leaders are meeting in September for a UN summit. Use the form below to tell them we do not want another city to suffer the fate of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Help our leaders understand that clouds of balloons over our cities look a lot better than mushroom ones.

Your message will be printed on a feather-shaped card and put on wings of dove balloons. Dove balloons will be flown on August 5th at 8 AM, in front of the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima city to commemorate the 60th anniversary. Your messages will also be sent to Prime Minister of Japan, Koizumi Junichiro and Governor of Aomori prefecture, Mimura Shingo.
