I have been campaigning to phase out nuclear power for a long time, and last year I held a march to stop nuclear wastewater from Seoul to Tokyo as follows.

Where is the U.S. headed now?
Diagnosing the nature of Biden’s acceptance of nuclear wastewater ocean discharge.

Professor Shorin Kihara’s remarks
“Japanese government is now releasing in order to use it as a precedent to justify the larger-scale of Rokasho’s nuclear wastewater discharge.”

Professor Emeritus Seo Kyun-yeol’s keynote lecture and talk show
Reinforcement of U.S.-China-Russia nuclear warheads and Japan’s release of nuclear wastewater — What is Korea’s and the world’s response strategy? —

⇒
The movement to stop nuclear wastewater is a movement to phase out nuclear power and is at the forefront of the movement to reduce nuclear weapons.

So, following last year, in June of this year
In Kyoto, Japan, we held a march to stop nuclear wasterwater with about 100 citizen’s.
I also participated in the nuclear phase-out rally in Osaka and marched with over a thousand Japanese citizen’s.

The news of the march in Japan was covered as big news on Baidu, China’s largest portal.

Then, on July 6th, in New York, citizens, mainly Korean Americans, marched about 3.5km through downtown Manhattan. At this time, we started from the Japanese Consulate General and went to the UN headquarters to protest.

And now, we hope to march in the U.S. in early October ahead of the U.S. presidential election. I think it would be great if we could march in both LA and Washington DC this time. The explanation for this plan is as follows:
