6.29 One Vote
Rebellion!
Women Will Make Changes in Politics,
Livelihoods and
Nuclear Power!
At 17:00 on June 29th, 2012
- Women’s Appeal in Front of the Parliament
On
June 7th, Fukushima women carried out a ‘Die-In’ in front of the
Prime Minister’s Office, demanding an end to the plan to restart of Ohi nuclear
power plant. Prime Minister Noda’s answer on June 8th to these
women’s outcry was “We will restart Ohi in order to protect people’s
livelihoods and its safety has been secured.” Noda is now trying to restart Ohi,
ignoring a possibly active fault crossing right under the nuclear power plant.
We, however, have never handed over our lives to you; Noda, your political life
is over.
To
the members of the Parliament, are you doing your best as representatives of
Japanese citizens? Despite the fact that more than 70% of Japanese are against
the restart of Ohi nuclear power plant, the Noda government is forcing its
restart. We support you, the MPs who empathize with the people of Fukushima and
who are making all their efforts to ensure the safety and the livelihoods of the
people and children in Japan at the expense of your own political lives. In all
of Japan’s areas we are going to ask each and every MP if they have agreed or
disagreed to the restart of the Ohi.
Women
in Fukushima have since 3.11 appealed to the world: “Please do not repeat
Fukushima! Do not let anybody suffer like we are doing!” The decision to
restart Ohi is indeed blaspheme against the Japanese people. Women got
outraged, stood up and got together. To women in Japan, please send your
representative to the 6.29 Women’s Action. We appeal to women in the world to please
continue your protest at the Japanese embassies until the day when the restart
of Ohi is withdrawn.
