The Fukushima Support Committee and Council for Pacific Asian Theology held their third annual “Unite for Peace and Nuclear Justice: Hiroshima/Nagasaki Never Again” rally on Aug. 8 at Toriumi Plaza in Little Tokyo.

In addition to commemorating the 74^thanniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima (Aug. 6) and Nagasaki (Aug. 9), participants recognized victims of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster and addressed other nuclear issues.

Opening religious ceremonies were conducted by Tina Calderon, an elder representing Chumash/Tongva Nations, and Rev. Ryuzen Hayashi of Koyasan Buddhist Temple of Los Angeles.

A moment of silence was observed at 7:02 p.m. (11:02 a.m. on Aug. 9 in Japan), the exact time that the Nagasaki bomb was dropped. Rev. Peter Hata of Higashi Honganji Buddhist Temple chanted as attendees made incense offerings.

Students from the Hiroshima Jogakuin High School Signature-Collecting Committee addressed the audience by phone.
