Tweet from @emi_mumemo translated by FukushimaVoice:
“11,000 public citizens gathered in front of the Prime Minister’s official residence today to protest against the restart of Oi nuclear power plant. I videotaped from the middle of the crowd all the way to the end of the line.
I was so moved by the power and energy of 11,000 people that you can hear me sobbing from part of the way. Please watch it! You will feel the power!”

As for the video, it gives me hope and strength…I hope that we see more mass protests by angry japanese people demanding an end to nuke power and to action on fukushima.

The citizens don't want nuclear plants, and we will outlaw them. Do not vote anyone in office that allows the deadly radiation plants.

Strong emotions.

I wonder why the demonstration was at night?
ALL living things stand with the demonstrators in Japan.

Japanese Mayors Protest Restart of Nuclear Power Plant
TOKYO, Japan, June 17, 2012 (ENS) – A group of Japanese local government elected officials is protesting the decision of Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's government to restart a nuclear power plant.
Under the banner Mayors for a Nuclear Power Free Japan, the group of 73 serving and retired mayors held a news conference Sunday to protest the plan to put the Ohi plant back online.

Mayor Murakami said he was angry over the decision, adding that he has renewed his resolve to have the nuclear plant in his village scrapped.
The Japan Atomic Energy Agency and other organizations currently operate nuclear technology research facilities in Tokai. The village was the scene of a nuclear criticality accident which occurred at the JCO nuclear reprocessing plant on September 30, 1999, which killed two people. It was the worst civilian nuclear radiation accident in pre-Fukushima Japan.

Did any of the mass media show up for this major event?

All mass media accounts I have read have downplayed the head count to 1000 or 500 people at the event.
Mixed reaction to reactivation of nuclear power plant in Japan

Near the Prime Minister's Office on Saturday, about 500 people held a protest, including members of citizens groups opposing reactivation.
They shouted slogans and carried banners reading, "We will block reactivation of the Oi plant."

Stay the course, absolutely.
The people of Japan need the truthtellers.
There are some that know they need help..like the people of Minamisoma.
And then.. there are the ones that have no idea at all..that they and their loved ones are in harm's way.
At no point..can we walk away.
Absolutely,stay the course.
