On this day 3 years ago the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe occurred

The huge radiation is spreading globally. The highly dangerous radiation is spreading everywhere through the air that we breathe and the worlds oceans. Fukushima is a catastrophe for the whole world, not just Japan.

Join us in Melbourne on this global day of action. People from around will be holding vigils and protests on this day

We need to begin public discussion of the grave threat we face in the massive amounts of radioactive contamination released into the air and leaking into the sea everyday since three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant exploded in March 2011.

A 4th reactor unit also exploded, exposing a dangerous pool of spent fuel rods in a building that won't withstand another big earthquake. The cores have escaped their containment vessels and the situation at the site has been deteriorating rapidly all summer.

This nuclear crisis is not over.

The invisible dragon of Daiichi is loose, and will be for centuries. It's time to start talking about what this means for the world.

Stand with us on October 19th, in solidarity with the people of Japan. And here at home, let this be the wake up call we've been waiting for. We need to start demanding that our elected officials & agencies do what is necessary to test the water we drink, the air we breathe, the food we eat.

In your heart you know this is important, you know you should do something.

We are all connected by bodies of water and we are mostly made up of water. We have one globally connected ocean and each of us has one body. All life was born in this ocean. She needs our help now. We need her help.
