2025 marks the 80th Anniversary of the first atomic bomb test and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At a time when the risk of nuclear use is the highest since the Cold War, a coalition of U.S. groups held a rally and march in the morning on March 5, 2025, across the United Nations to coincide with the Third Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
