Now, 50 years following the signing of the ANPO treaty, as the issue of military bases is being forced upon the people of Okinawa by the U.S. and Japanese governments, citizens throughout Okinawa and Japan are speaking out and demanding something different.The Okinawa/Tokyo Peace Carnival 2010 is aimed at supporting this vision: Okinawa--and indeed, the rest of the world--free from the existence of violent and destructive mil...itary bases.
Creating a strong connection of love and peace between Tokyo and Okinawa, this event will express solidarity with the 『PEACE MUSIC FESTA 2010』, which will be held October 30th-31st in Henoko, Okinawa.
The event will include a talk by television journalist Kanehira Shigenori. A booth will also be onsite from Yuntaku Takae, a Tokyo-based group offering support to the sit-in movement to stop the construction of U.S. military helipads near Takae Village in Okinawa’s Yanbaru “Broccoli” Forest.
Come join us for an afternoon and evening of music, film, discussion--and peace that transcends all borders!
