10万人集まった!!首相官邸前を見に行こうぜ!! Friday Night! Let's Drop By the Prime Minister's House (More Event Info on Facebook)
Since March of 2012, people have been gathering in front of the Japanese Prime Minister's Residence every Friday night to express opposition to the restart of Japan's 54 nuclear reactors, which were shut down last year for safety checks, and to call for a new energy policy rooted in greater human security, sustainability, and transparency.Despite the fact that Japan is an earthquake prone country, despite the fact that tens of thousands of people in Japan have lost their homes, farms, families and livelihood and must live as evacuees because of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, and despite the fact that Fukushima Daiichi continues to contaminate the earth and oceans of the planet, the Japanese government recently restarted nuclear reactors in the town of Ohi.On Friday, June 29, more than 100,000 gathered in front of the Prime Minister's residence in Tokyo, in an astounding display of people demanding to be heard by the government that is supposed to represent them rather than an opaque nuclear industry. The gathering came shortly on the heels of the Tokyo Assembly vetoing down a referendum on the restart of Japan's nuclear reactors, despite the fact that nearly 100,000 more signatures than necessary were collected in order to call for the referendum.Ensconced safely in his home, his livelihood assured, comfortably distanced from the devastating consequences of the nuclear disaster the people of Fukushima are living through every day, the Prime Minister was silent in the face of the massive protest on June 29--as he has been since the protests started in March. His only comment was reportedly to a guard, saying "How noisy!"How many hundreds of thousands of petition signatures can the Prime Minister ignore? How many massive gatherings of people can he pretend to ignore before finally responding to calls for a sane energy policy for Japan--and ultimately for the world? Well, let's find out! On July 6 (Friday), another gathering will be held in front of his official residence. Last week, more than 100,000 people joined. This week, we're aiming to exceed that. Drop by on your way home from work or on your way to a party-- even if only for 15-30 minutes--and play a role in shaping the future of Japan!Access: Kokkaigijidomae Station (on the Chiyoda or Marunouchi Lines), Exit 3Time: 6-9 pmFriday6:00pm until 9:00pm in UTC+09国会議事堂前駅3番出口※大拡散お願いします。前回企画した「4万5千人集まった首相官邸前を見に行こうぜ!!」企画は、、、皆様のおかげで、参加300人シェア、もう把握不能招待6000弱集まりました!!!びっくりでしょ?勇気だして、やってみるもんですね。いやいや、僕が一番びっくりしてます。正式にデモの主催が発表したので今回も、呼びかけたいと思います。皆さんよろしくお願いします。関西版も僕の友達がやってます。→http://www.facebook.com/events/181281072002058/【あえて、、、「見に行こうぜ」の思い。】約10万人の人達が前回の抗議に参加しました。(主催者発表は約20万人、警察発表は1万7000人)安保闘争以来の最大抗議となりました。しかし、前回の呼びかけにも書きましたがやはり原発は再稼働する事になりました。僕は違和感を感じます。友達がいってましたよ。「どうせ何しても変わらないよ、、、」「これで変わらなかったら、どこに希望持つの?」僕等の世代はどっか、心のどっかでこの思いが強いと思います。「こういう社会なんだからしょうがない」そんな社会で育ったんですから投票に行く若者が少ない事も納得できますよ、そりゃ。若者の投票率は60代〜70代の人の投票数の約1/3しか有りません。こりゃどうしようもないな(笑でも。だから。そういう、人達にこそ来て欲しい!!10万人の人が集まる光景って凄まじいよ。コレは原発に関わらず。「自分達の未来は自分たちで考えてもいいのだ!!!」って事を実感できる場だと思います。僕、自身は原発には本当に反対です。でも、そのスタートとして考えるのも、やになっちゃって、一歩引いてる人って結構居ると思います。だから、まあ反対しろおおおって押し付けるんじゃなくて答えが、どこに有るのか、、、、分からないけど、とりあえず見に行きません?この話は若者だけじゃないかも知れません。この国が今どこに行くのかもう一回一緒に考えましょうよ。よろしくお願いします。奥田愛基デモ後、日比谷公園の端で学生が軽く集まってます。よかったら是非。集まったあと、その後ご飯でも行きましょうよ。
