August 3 Friday Protest at PM Official Residence, and Organizers Will Allow Protest Against Nuclear Regulation Commission Appointment

How generous of them to allow deviation from their "single issue" (i.e. "saikado hantai" - against (Ooi Nuke Plant) restart).

From Metropolitan Coalition Against Nukes website:

※今回は、国会同意人事である原子力規制委員会の人事案決定間際という緊急性に鑑み、田中俊一氏をはじめとする原子力ムラの人間を取り込む人事案撤回についても強く訴えることとします。

This time, because the appointment of commissioners for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is imminent, which requires consent of the Diet, we will also appeal for the retraction of the plan that will appoint people from the "nuclear village", including Mr. Shunichi Tanaka.

【日時】8/3(金)18:00〜20:00 予定
【場所】首相官邸前および永田町・霞が関一帯
(霞ヶ関駅、虎ノ門駅、桜田門駅をご利用ください)
※千代田線・丸ノ内線の国会議事堂前駅は大混雑が予想されます。

Date: Friday August 3rd, 6 to 8PM
Place: In front of the Prime Minister's Official Residence, and in Nagata-cho/Kasumigaseki area [where the government ministries and agencies are located]
Please use Kasumigaseki Station, Toranomon Station and Sakuradamon Station. Kokkaigijidomae Station on Chiyoda Line and Marunouchi Line is expected to be hugely crowded.

If any of you are going, please write in the comment section tomorrow.

Again, I'm not too thrilled with these young and rather arrogant organizers who have been dissing anyone older than them, but I support people of all ages expressing their discontent directly to the power that be in Kasumigaseki.

There will be a protest AFTER this orderly event at Goshi Hosono's ministry (Ministry of the Environment). The protest will demand Hosono replace the soon-to-be-appointed commissioners of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission with people outside the "nuclear village". Information from "Hinan no Kenri" (right to evacuate) blog:

Date: Friday August 3, 8:15PM to 9PM
Place: In front of the Ministry of the Environment (Joint Government Building No.5)
See the map: http://www.env.go.jp/annai/map.html

※ヒューマンチェーンは、環境省を含む一角で実施
（プラカード、鳴り物、光り物など持参歓迎）

We will make "human chain" in one corner that includes the Ministry of the Environment. (Please bring placards, musical instruments [anything that makes noise] and anything that shines.)

(They should be demanding Hosono be removed from his ministerial post, sent off to pick up the highly radioactive debris and wash down the fuel assembly at Fukushima I Nuke Plant so that he can claim "See, there is no radioactivity!")

This group will be also protesting in front of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Annex (where NISA is housed) from 6:20PM to 8PM, against the Nuclear Regulatory Commission appointment and the restart of Ooi Nuclear Power Plant.
