On the eve of the second anniversary of the nuclear accident we welcome an invitation from the Women from Fukushima ‘No more Nuclear Power’ group and we invite you to take part in a symbolic action to show solidarity with them.

Here is an extract from their invitation:

‘The enormity of the loss, of the damage caused by the nuclear accident, is truly infinite.
No declaration by the government that the “alarm has ceased”, nor its promise that our nuclear energy is “the safest in the world” can ever give us back the lives that have been lost, the families that have been split up, the friends that have been torn away from us, the loss of our houses, jobs and interior calm, or our beloved Fukushima.

That is why we shout out “NO” to the new government, who is on the verge of restoring the nuclear régime that existed before the tragedy, showing that they have learned nothing from Fukushima.
That is why we shall offer up prayers for the lives that have been sacrificed and those still in peril. During this period of recollection, which can bring us all together, we shall promise to do something concrete, within our reach, even the smallest thing, to bring about a change.

We hope that through our meditations by candlelight a new movement will spring from all the ideas of how we can change this society.’
