Do you know why #bikini swimsuits are called as such? Apparently because the designer wanted an "explosive" name - referring to the #NuclearTests conducted in the #Atoll between 1946 and 1958. Very #PoorTaste if you ask me. #ThingsYouLearn at #TPNW1MSP #MarshallIslands

For years many did not know of the RMI and the horrific events that took place on the islands. Today, we see many of our youth using their voices to raise awareness. Throughout this week we will share our youth's stories. Watch the full video here⬇️⬇️ vimeo.com/391517509

Nuclear weapons "epitomize the same short-sightedness that created the climate crisis, worsened the pandemic, & continues to keep food from the hungry. Worse, their staggering expense cripples our response to these challenges." --- @FijiPM powerful speech at #TPNW inaugural MSP

Strong joint youth statement during #TPNW1MSP: "Our future is not guaranteed until all nuclear-armed states are held accountable. We, the leaders of today, are committed in the work towards establishing a world free of nuclear weapons." #youth4tpnw #nuclearban

Let us be clear: young people are the leaders of today and our voices and decision-making power must be prominent in all spaces. 📸 Alex Papis

In the Marshall Islands, women especially face difficult health and pregnancy choices because of nuclear impacts. I have two daughters and many nieces. Their choices will always remain their decision! Yes, I have Christian values.
