Please sign the petition for Hiroji Yamashiro!

To  GN List Serve  
As you know three strong delegations from VFP have been to Okinawa to stand with the people resisting base construction at Henoko and we have had the great honor of meeting Hiroji Yamashiro and seeing him in action. This man and his two co-defendants are very much loved. He has already been imprisoned unjustly for 5 months in very difficult conditions and now they want to put him and the others away for much longer. We can not allow this. I am pleading with every VFP member to go tohttp://noforeignbases.org/ scroll down and on the right you will see the Petition to Drop All Charges Against Arrested Okinawa Anti-Bases Activists. Please sign this petition.
 
This petition will be directly emailed to the court in Okinawa and to Japanese Ambassadors to the UN and the US. We want to make this a huge global campaign of tens of thousands of signatures from around the world. Let’s have VFP be a huge part of that. Every signature counts. Please sign!
 
Thank you!

“Colorful demonstrations and weekend marches are vital but alone are not powerful enough to stop wars. Wars will be stopped only when soldiers refuse to fight, when workers refuse to load weapons onto ships and aircraft, when people boycott the economic outposts of Empire that are strung across the globe. ” 
― Arundhati Roy, Public Power in the Age of Empire
