On July 16, 1945, the first nuclear weapon was detonated. The code name for the test was Trinity. Today, more than 12,300 nuclear weapons exist, & peer reviewed research shows that a nuclear exchange of less than 3% of that could lead to the deaths of billions. No one wins a nuclear war.
Photograph taken by Jack Aeby - the only color photograph of the Trinity nuclear test. Text: 80 years ago today the first nuclear weapon was detonated. They do not make us safer. They must never be used again. Nuclear Abolition Now

Some additional essays (among countless others) we'd like to point your attention to cover many topics ranging from women in the anti-nuclear movement in the pacific islands, women and historical nuclear protests, and women in the UK protesting the nuclear program.
A picket mounted by the Women’s Peace Camp at RAF/USAF Greenham Common, Berkshire. Photo by Edward Barber in 1982. Shows a woman sitting beside a road, a parked bicycle to her side, she is sittin in a folding lawn chair with a door mat under her feet, her legs crossed at the knee, and to her side is a large peace sign. A protest sign beside her, in large letters, reads 'Hello can you stop for a talk?'

Home to the majority of the nation’s high-level nuclear waste and its largest environmental cleanup, Hanford is tasked with managing toxic materials that will long outlast the United States and its institutional capacities.
