Share information with friends, family members and colleagues about the urgency of abolishing nuclear weapons. Write articles and letters to the editor, post content on social media, and organise public forums, teach-ins and film screenings.

Raising awareness about the harm that nuclear weapons inflict on people and the environment is especially important. Too often, education about nuclear weapons focuses instead on the men who invented and dropped the weapons in 1945.

The first-hand testimonies of survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and of people harmed by nuclear testing, can help shift attitudes and motivate action.
