Letter of Protest 


We have just learned that the U.S. conducted a new type of nuclear test again last November, following a similar test in September.

These repeated tests compel us to believe that the U.S. intends to maintain its nuclear stockpile indefinitely. Such actions are completely unacceptable, and on behalf of the 5,111 cities in 153 countries and regions that are members of Mayors for Peace, we once again vehemently protest.

We urge you to stop betraying our expectations. Please contemplate the agonizing experience of the survivors who witnessed the bombing, understand their sincere wish for peace, and strive for the earliest possible realization of a world free from nuclear weapons.
