DESCRIPTION:3//11 Rally-Speak Out On 5th Anniversary Of Fukushima\nThursday March 11, 
 2016 3:00 PM\nJapanese Consulate\n275 Battery St./California St .at the 
 front of Japanese Consulate\nSan Francisco\n\nMarch 11, 2016 is the fifth 
 anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe that is still 
 reverberating in Japan and around the world. The nuclear plants are still 
 releasing thousands of tons of radioactive water and over 1000 tanks filled 
 with contaminated radioactive water surround the broken nuclear 
 plants.\n\nThe children and families continue to have a rising level of 
 thyroid cancers and this uptick is taking place in other places in Japan. 
 Despite these dangers the Japanese Abe government has said that the problem 
 has been solved. They are demanding the the families and children return to 
 Fukushima or lose subsidies for housing. The government is also claiming 
 that they have "decontaminated" Fukushima and told the Olympic Committee 
 that the problem had been solved.\n\nThe government has also raised the 
 limits of allowable radiation to those of nuclear research facilities in 
 Japan. The Japanese government has also passed secrecy laws threatening the 
 journalists and investigators getting information out about the disaster 
 and also seeks to militarize Japan by eliminating Article 9 of the 
 constitution that limits wars and intervention. The government is seeking 
 for the full militarization Japan including nuclear weapons despite mass 
 opposition among the majority of the population. Hundreds of thousands of 
 citizens have gone to the streets to demand an end to the restarting of 
 Japan's remaining more than 40 nuclear plants.\n\nOn March 11, 2016 people 
 throughout the world including in San Francisco will be speaking out and 
 calling for an end to the restarting of it's nuclear plants, for the 
 evacuation of the children and families in Fukushima and for the government 
 to take responsibility for subsidizing housing outside the area.\n\nWe call 
 for an end to the censorship laws and also against the elimination of 
 Article 9 which will lead to further militarization and war.\n\nWe call for 
 the closure of all nuclear plants around the world including Diablo Canyon 
 in California which is also running on an earthquake fault like many 
 nuclear plants in Japan.\n\nPlease Join Us and Speak Out\n\nInitiated by No
