Today’s T-shirt.

May the circle of peace grow! Today is #NagasakiDay and it’s been 79 years since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons entered into force on January 22nd 2021. Still, only five European countries have joined since September 20th 2017 and this is disgraceful. Thank you to Austria, The Holy See, Malta, Ireland and San Marino for leading the way.
