This year, 75 years since the atomic bombing, Mayors for Peace created a video message entitled "No more Hiroshima! No more Nagasaki!", and released it online on July 20. Created with the support of twenty-three people, including hibakusha and mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and representatives of the United Nations, national governments, NGOs and Mayors for Peace executive cities, the aim of the video was to share the wish for the abolition of nuclear weapons with the people of the world.
　The aim of the initiative is to expand global opinion supporting the abolition of nuclear weapons by utilizing the Mayors for Peace network of member cities and related organizations to distribute the video message to a wide audience.
　To date, the video has been shown to state ambassadors and others who visited Hiroshima City to attend the Peace Memorial Ceremony on August 6, and it was also shown by a Mayors for Peace Executive Adviser at "#Stillhere: 75 Years of Shared Nuclear Legacy", an online event held in the United States on August 6 and 9 to promote the abolition of nuclear weapons.
　The video message may be viewed on: https://youtu.be/DOO4IIrZ7Ow 　On August 4, a peace education webinar (online seminar) entitled "No more Hiroshima! No more Nagasaki! Future Leaders of Peace Activism" was held by Mayors for Peace member cities. The aim of the webinar was to pass on the desire for peace to the next generation of young people and encourage them to proactively take action.
　Participants in the webinar first listened to a talk by an expert on the current international situation regarding nuclear weapons. This was followed by presentations by young people active in Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well as young people from five cities that previously participated in Mayors for Peace Youth Exchange for Peace: support program for "HIROSHIMA and PEACE". The presentations described the wishes for peace and peace activities underway in each respective city. Each presentation was followed by a question and answer session and discussion with members of the audience, who came from seventeen cities in ten countries.
　The webinar was live-streamed online and seen by many people. A video of the webinar is available on the Mayors for Peace website below, to encourage young people to actively participate in peace activities.
