Lanterns for Peace: Tenney Park, North Thornton Avenue on Lake Mendota.
Mark your calendars! Physicians for Social Responsibility-Wisconsin will host our annual “Lanterns for Peace” event. Join us for this family-friendly event to commemorate the lives lost in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings 77 years ago and make sure that such nuclear attacks never again take place. We remember the past, so that we can envision and work for a peaceful, just and nuclear-free future.

After creating lanterns, there will be a program at 7:30 pm and then a launch of lanterns at dusk (7:45 pm) You are welcome to mail in your lantern if you cannot be in attendance. Please wear a mask if you are unvaccinated and maintain social distancing. More info? https://psr-wisconsin.org/lanterns-for-peace . Facebook:  https://fb.me/e/Wki6ymLxinfo@psrwisconsin.org
