Bike Around the Bomb | Aug. 6th

[Lillyanne Daigle]

I wanted to give you all a heads up on this awesome, free, family friendly biking event that I'm organizing in DC called Bike Around the Bomb on Aug. 6th.

Bike Around the Bomb is an event to commemorate the atomic bombings of Japan as hundreds cycle around what would be the edge of a “small” nuclear blast in downtown D.C. It's super fun - I hope some of you join us!

Below is some more info. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Peace,

Lilly

Global Zero’s Annual Bike Around the Bomb

What would a nuclear blast look like in downtown Washington, D.C.?

The world is bristling with more than 15,000 nuclear weapons. The risk that these weapons will be used is growing and the consequences are greater than ever.

Join Global Zero on the 71st anniversary of the atomic bombings of Japan as we cycle what would be the edge of a “small” nuclear blast in downtown D.C. Together we will commemorate the bombings and call on 2016 presidential candidates to commit to working for a world without nuclear weapons.

Bike Around the Bomb is free, open to the public, and will bring everyone from Global Zero movement leaders to brand new activists together to urge world leaders to remember and to act.

When: Saturday, August 6th, 10:00am

Where: Lafayette Park, in front of the White House
