Hi Friend --
I am writing to you from Hiroshima, where it has been a privilege to see the Hiroshima G7 Youth Summit get off to a powerful start! <[link removed]> If you would like to get a taste for what is happening at this incredible gathering of young advocates for a world free of nuclear weapons, then join our livestream from the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Hall.

The event will start tomorrow, Wednesday April 26th at 16:45 JST (07:45 GMT / 03:45 ET). After hearing from hibakusha and visiting the iconic landmarks that mark the atomic bombing, Youth Summit delegates will share what they have have learned, and their vision for how young people and citizens can achieve global action on nuclear disarmament from the G7 leaders summit, and beyond. So this will make for a powerful watch!
We realise that timezones may make it complicated to tune in live, so we will definitely leave a recording <[link removed]>on the event page afterwards.
I really hope you will choose to let these young voices inspire you. One of the main things I am taking away from today is the care and energy that these 50 participants from all over the world brought to the summit.
After hearing from experts about the impacts of nuclear weapons, the current risks, and the power and importance of international law, they engaged passionately with each other about the ways they can push for nuclear disarmament. Planning activities at home and - crucially - discussing their demands from the G7 leaders Summit in May and how to make sure those demands reach these leaders.
You can read more and keep up to date with the Summit in this blog <[link removed]>, or you can find some of the great photos and participant experiences on our social media (We're on Twitter, <[link removed]>Facebook <[link removed]>,Instagram <[link removed]>, Tiktok <[link removed]> and LinkedIn <[link removed]>).
See you online!
