Join Global Zero’s Bike Around The Bomb
Join Global Zero on the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Japan as we cycle what would be the edge of a “small” nuclear blast in downtown D.C. and call on President Obama to keep his promise to “seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.”
The event will be one of many corresponding events around the world, serving as a powerful reminder that nuclear weapons were designed to wipe cities like ours off the map.
When: Sunday, August 9th,10:00 am
Where: Lafayette Park, in front of the White House
There are still more than 15,000 nuclear weapons in the world today. Many of these weapons are ready to launch at a moment’s notice. It’s time we call on President Obama and other world leaders to stand down these weapons of mass destruction and join the fight toward global zero – a world without nuclear weapons.
Join us on Sunday, August 9 for the 2nd annual “Bike Around the Bomb D.C.” event as we cycle the circumference of the Nagasaki bomb blast to symbolize what a “small” nuclear blast would look like in our city and what we stand to lose. Bike Around the Bomb D.C. will be one of dozens of corresponding events across the world, from Seattle to New Delhi, from Chicago to Islamabad and beyond. Together, let’s remind world leaders that nuclear weapons are designed to wipe cities like ours off the map.
We’ll be gathering at 10am in Lafayette Square in front of the White House. We’ll have free t-shirts, posters and more!
This event is both FREE and open to the public. Friends and families of all ages and sizes are welcome!
