 Conference To Speak Out On Defense of Comfort Women Memorial San Francisco 
 and Against Threats To Terminate Sister To Sister Relationship Between 
 Osaka and San Francisco\nWhen: 	Monday September 24, 2018 11:00 AM 
 \nWhere:	Japanese. Consulate San Francisco 275 Battery St. San Francisco 
 near California St. San Francisco\n\nThis is the one year anniversary of 
 the commemoration of the historic Comfort Women Memorial in San Francisco 
 which is located  at 651 California St. San Francisco\n\nA delegation from 
 Osaka, Japan is in  San Francisco for this one year anniversary of the 
 Comfort Women Memorial. They will be speaking at a  press conference at the 
 Japanese Consulate to  call on the Abe administration, the Mayor of Osaka 
 and the denialists in Japan and Osaka to end their effort to stop memorials 
 from being constructed around the world. They will also call for a halt to  
 the Mayor Hirofumi Yoshimura's threat to terminate the sister to sister 
 relationship  with \nSan Francisco which has been threatened  in a letter 
 to Mayor London Breed. According to this delegation the people of Osaka do 
 not support this action and they want to let the people of San Francisco 
 and the world know that this is not an action that represents the people of 
 Osaka.\n\nSan Francisco has a long history in support of the civil and 
 human rights of people in the US and around the world. We will call on the 
 Japanese government and the Mayor of Osaka to end their effort to cover-up 
 the history of the Japanese Imperial Army during the second world war of 
 the ‘comfort women’ who were used as sexual slaves by the Japanese 
 military. We also urge people throughout the world to also build memorials 
 that commemorate these women who were enslaved and as a lesson of this 
 history for the future.\n\nToday when there is a growing danger of war in 
 Asia and around the world, we oppose such militarization both in Japan, the 
 United States and every country in the world.\n\nThe press conference will 
 be in Japanese and English and a statement will be delivered to the 
 Consulate officials.\n\nSponsored by the Comfort Women Justice 
 Coalition\nhttps://remembercomfortwomen.org\nFor more info: 415-533-5942\n
