Past Shadow Project Participants
These are not just Hiroshima memorials or anti-nuke or anti-war activities, but local and regional recognitions of the inhumanity that all nations are capable of. International organizations like the UN and the ICC were created out of this same recognition, specifically to help save us all from our worst selves. There is no single nation, no matter how powerful, that can keep the world safe. We cannot be safe until everyone else is safe.
