Come join the “Goodbye to Nuclear Power Plants” Rally!

Affected by the earthquake on 11th March, the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant of TEPCO is suffering meltdown, the worst possible situation, in its reactors number 1 to3.
 This has become an unparalleled disaster, where high level radioactive materials have been released, following hydrogen explosions and the damages to the reactor buildings, into sea water, air and soil, contaminating the environment.

 Even two months after the earthquake, the reactors show no sign of coming back to control and the situation continues to be extremely unstable. It is feared that there would be immeasurable effects on the health and lives of not only the local residents and the workers at the power plant but also the future children yet to be born.

 We have always been aware that humans cannot live with nuclear. We are deeply regretting that even though we knew this fact, our protesting voices and actions against nuclear energy have been far too weak.

 We are determined to take actions for a “peaceful and sustainable society”, reconsidering our lifestyles that exploit nature and waste limitless energy, and focusing on natural energy. For that purpose, we set the following goals:
1. Cancellation of construction plans for new nuclear power plants
2. Planned termination of existing nuclear power plants, including the Hamaoka nuclear power plant.
3. Abolition of “Monju” and nuclear reprocessing plants which use plutonium, the most dangerous radioactive material.
We will achieve these goals in order to save our own lives, and fulfill our responsibilities to the future children.

We will hold the “Goodbye to Nuclear Power Plants” Rally as follows. Please join with your friends and families.

Date: September 19th, 2011, Starting at 13:00
Place: Meiji Park, Tokyo (Five minutes walk from JR Sendagaya station, two minutes walk from metro Oedo line Kokuritsu Kyogijo station (Exit E25)
Expected number of participants: 50,000(There will also be a parade after the rally.)

  1. The nuclear disaster in Japan showed us – after Majak (Russia 1957), Harrisbourg (USA 1979), Tschernobyl (Ukraine 1986) and serveral other (almost-) katastrophic events – that nuclear power isn´t controllable or safe. The risks are possible human failures, natural disasters, plane crashes or terroristic threats.
    Radiation knows no borders – but our resistance knows no borders as well
    Let us show them the possible ways to secure renewable energy.
    Let us make our own future for coming generations.
    Let us bring an end to every single atomic power plant.
    Now and worldwide!!!!

  3. Such shameful greed that can hurt so many in the name of profit for a few, this is nuclear power, and we are fighting with Japan to end the insanity.

  4. It was NEVER worth it, now noone can ignore the fact. We all have pieces of Cherynobyl in us, now we’ll have Fukoshima too. That’s enough.

  6. Hey Japanese government,
    “No Nuclear!!! We don’t need that!!!”
    Can you hear our voice?
    You must listen and do that.

  7. “People today have forgotten they’re really just a part of nature. Yet, they destroy the nature on which our lives depend. They always think they can make something better. Especially scientists. They may be smart, but most don’t understand the heart of nature. They only invent things that, in the end, make people unhappy. Yet they’re so proud of their inventions. What’s worse, most people are, too. They view them as if they were miracles. They worship them. They don’t know it, but they’re losing nature. They don’t see that they’re going to perish. The most important things for human beings are clean air and clean water.”
    — Akira Kurosawa (Yume)

  8. First of all, the trajedy is the Democratic party, Minshuto, had messed everything up. They might have used you, guys, to divert critical eyes to nuclear matters on purpose.
    Naoto Kan, realized himself the disaster could be something he would be able to use in order to hide his own political incompetence, promoted anti-nuclear power activites instead.
    The worse is that the mass media, which has a tendency here in Japan to act as demagogue sometimes, trys to become very active in taking advantage of anti nuclear sentiment among Japanese.

    I am very much doubtful in this movement at present.
    Watch out everybody!!!!

  9. No Nuke! Stop it now

  10. Nuclear power generates dangerous waste, threatens the world water supply and is expensive. Let the world invest in Solar tech and get this right.

  11. 署名活動についての英文説明の掲載、ありがとうございます。
    ただ、たとえ直筆の署名に比べて効力が少なくても、やはり英文のオンライン署名を可能にして下さるよう、再度、懇願します。
    日本国外の外国人については、どのみち提出先が首相官邸に限られる以上、直筆である必要性はないわけですし、まとめて郵送する手間、届くかどうかの不安の前に断念する人は、ご想像以上に多いのです。
    オンラインの英文ページを作成して頂ければ、ずっと簡単に多数の賛同が集められるはずです。
    是非是非、ご検討をよろしくお願い致します。

  12. We call for a week of action against nuclear energy in Germany from 17.-24. September. Here you are free to choose your energy supplier, so there is no need to pay longer for nuclear energy. Choose green energy instead!

    Wir rufen zur Ökostrom-Wechselwoche vom 17.-24. September auf!

  15. Goodbye to nuclear power plants!

  16. From NYC we are united with the people of Japan

  17. We got this message on 26th August, a bit rush to us though, we are thinking of having a city camping at the area next to the Star Ferry Pier where the 5 poles(flagstaff) are in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Though this idea is still rather rough, we will further our details and discussion in coming couple of days. Anyway, we will support this “Fukushima Day” 17-19th Sept. and the 50thousand people rally on 19th. Yes, this is not for Japan only but the whole world is under this disastrous nuclear threat. Since we are all living in this global village, no one can escape from all these contamination of the air, waters, earth and all of our us the living are affected. Let’s join hand to say NO to nuclear power! And No to these greedy powerful leaders in politic and bussiness world. Also NO to these over consumption mentality.

  18. I stand with the ppl of japan seeking a new non nuclear sustainable path forward and for an end to govt collusion with industry to coverup the facts of this disaster.

  19. I agree

  20. The history of nuclear energy has been fraught with serious problems from the start. The time has come to STOP ITS USE; unless a 100% safety can be designed. Society must take an alternate path to using energy more judiciously and to generate energy that is safe for use (for all life on this planet).
