Last year, I heard your lectuer at Hiroshima peace museum.
This time, Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation’s Director Mr. Steve Leeper sent us following E-mail.
So far, your wife’s friend, Ms. Akiko Ishii has applied for the action. We are wondering if you can participate, she may be reassured. Please contact Mr. Leeper about this.

Dear friend,
I have a question.

In the US, ground zero for the nuclear renaissance is the nuclear power plant (Vogtle) in Burke County, Georgia. They are in the process of building the first two plants in the US in 30 years. We are trying desperately to stop them.

We are planning an Occupy Vogtle action in March 2012, before and after March 11, with a special ceremony on March 11 to remember the tsunami and Tohoku and Fukushima.

I am wondering if there is any way we can get some Japanese people to go to Burke County and take part in this action. It would be extremely meaningful if some anti-nuclear activists from Japan would be there.

We cannot pay for the air fare, but we can help to give people places to stay and pay for most of their expenses once they are in Georgia.

What do you think? Do you know anyone who might be interested in going to help the fight against nuclear in the US?

One more thing. If some Japanese go to Vogtle, I think some Americans would be willing to go to Japan to help you.
