Dear Friends in Peace, 

As our world seems to be spinning out of control with unbelievable violence, war, the horrifying realities of genocide, the disappearances of innocent people, the erosion of human rights and democracy, the rise of U.S. authoritarianism, gross economic injustice, and the destruction of our planet, it seems clearer than ever… It is time for united resistance! Time to unite in our demands to:

End War,

Meet human needs, and 

Address our social and ecological needs. 

Please bring yourself and/or your group to a Nagasaki Day Peace Summit Saturday, Aug. 9, 2025, First Unitarian Society - 900 University Bay Drive - Madison, Wisconsin
