Close your eyes
Turn the page
Let us Imagine into reality.....
Let us sweat and cry a change
Let us hold hands and make it so.

Breathe 3x 

Since Then.......

80 years from now

We worked fearlessly together
Our air is clean
Our water pure and free
Our children happy and safe
80 years from now
We will say.....
We climbed together
And built together
Through sweat while
Holding love and each other
80 years from now
Our Native lands renewed
Histories and contributions
Of people of color
Acknowledged and celebrated

Breathe in air
That sustains our lives
Breathe in this day
As we come together
Breathe in humanity
As we remember those who walked with us and those
who came before us.

62 years ago women came together
For the first Portland Hiroshima Day
Together they walked 9 miles
The perimeter of the A-bomb
Walking in sorrow
And in hope
Crying Peace is our shelter

We continue their legacy
We continue today to pray and breathe hope
We Continue today to pray and breathe......action.

Breathe 3x

Since then........
80 years ago
The atomic child was born
War, hate, and racism
Drove the war machine
To kill
To destroy
And we
Forgot the sacredness of life.
Soon
Those who lived through
Pain and loss
Grief and trauma
The memories and stories of survivors
Of WWII
Will no longer be spoken
Living memories will be gone
Only our renditions of history will remain
How will we continue to tell the stories?

We need your help. Lawmakers are considering adding another $10 million for Oregonโ€™s Resilience Hubs and Networks.
