We will never give up, because this is not about us, in our own place, in our own time, but about our brothers and sisters in all places, about our descendants 100 generations down the line. Fukushima nuclear disaster is unfolding in its own time; we will only begin to know the full scope and severity of it over time. Right now Japanese utilities are restarting nuclear stations above earthquake faults and their government is forcing evacuees back into heavily contaminated areas, areas which would be off-limits in any other country. The Pacific ocean slowly distributes Fukushima Daiichi's radiation to faraway places and fish become unsafe for human consumption, the air is being continuously poisoned, and there's no certain plan for decommissioning the three reactors. What the future holds we don't want to know; we want to know what to do now, to know our own strengths and how to apply them. We're not alone in our knowing and we go to the streets this 3.11 to find our companions in this effort, to share awareness, to find a way forward, protecting ourselves and our fellow humans, ending this out-of-control catastrophe, and preventing any more. Never again!
April 26 will be the 30th anniversary of Chernobyl nuclear explosion, a reminder for us of how far governments will go to cover up the disastrous health effects of a radiation event. Chernobyl bankrupted, and thereby destroyed, the Soviet Union, according to Gorbachev; and Fukushima is destroying Japan in much the same way, although in this case private enterprise gets rich in the process. In the same way that we can never forget the holocaust, or the unnecessary deaths of millions of people anywhere, we must never forget the twisted bodies of the Chernobyl children, or the human sacrifice of Liquidators demanded by the Soviet state, or the millions sick or dead from the fallout. While we can, let's help those now being sacrificed by Japan's government to life or death in the former "Restricted Zone."
If you know of an event that I haven't included here, please send me the details at fukushimafifthanniversary@hotmail.com Images, links, and contact person would be helpful. This year, event listings are in "shorthand", no agonized translations and only essential links. HTML problems will be fixed. Sad note: If you don't have a Facebook account, some event links might not work for you. Note: My posting events that promote "revitalization" of radiation-contaminated areas in Tohoku is in no way an endorsement of that program; I think the contaminated areas should be evacuated forever. That said, I'll post any and all events for 3.11 and leave judgement to others. And thank you Cavelieus for discovering the Djinn.

INTERNATIONAL
in 2015. This was our third year marking the anniversary of Fukushima nuclear disaster by boycotting grid supplied electricity, and it was our biggest year yet. We now aim to reach millions for 2016, the fifth anniversary of the Fukushima disaster. Together we can Unplug Nuclear Power!
On March 11, thousands of people around the Country and around the world will join together to teach the utilities a lesson--we don't need them, or nuclear power, to survive. By using as little grid-supplied power as possible that day, we not only cost the utilities money, we'll declare our independence from dirty, centralized, unsustainable energy technologies.

As the five year anniversary draws near we here at Wiley, a global publisher of research across all the sciences, medicine and social sciences, have selected 123 research articles relating to or resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake. These articles have been drawn from the approximately 1,600 journals published by Wiley, many on behalf of the 900 learned societies and associations with which we partner. Wiley hopes they will prove useful to researchers and the wider community by conveying some of the lessons learned from the disasters and their painful consequences as well as encouraging the development of new and further research. This selection of articles will be available for free public release until April 30th, 2016 through Wiley Online Library.
Fukushima: A Nuclear Story, narrated by Willem Dafoe, produced by Teatro Primo Studio - Film beyond and directed by Matteo Gagliardi, recounts Italian journalist Pio D'Emilia's (living in Japan during the nuclear crisis) efforts to find out the truth behind this tragedy.

5º Aniversario de Fukushima de Ecologistas en Accion
El accidente de Fukushima debería servir a la industria nuclear en el mundo, y en particular a la española, como muestra de lo que puede llegar a ocurrir si se sigue usando esta fuente de energía.
Lo más sensato es aprender la lección e ir prescindiendo paulatinamente de esta peligrosa y cara tecnología.
Existen ya suficientes fuentes de energía limpias que pueden ir sustituyendo paulatinamente a las sucias, peligrosas y caras centrales nucleares. Por ello, Ecologistas en Acción ha convocado diversas acciones en España para reclamar el cierre escalonado de las centrales de nuestro país. La potencia que aportan es perfectamente prescindible puesto que existen alternativas limpias y seguras.

11:30 h. Plantación de un cerezo, plantar cordura
Plantación de un cerezo (Prunus avium). Cerezo silvestre, cerezo dulce o cerezo de monte es una especie nativo de Europa y el occidente asiático. Las sakura (flores de cerezo) son un elemento simbólico en la cultura popular de Japón. La imagen de los pétalos de estas flores caídos en masa al principio de la primavera simboliza la belleza de la naturaleza y el renacimiento de la vida como un nuevo comienzo. También en ese acto "plantaremos" el deseo de construir sensatez para que la fuerza de sus raíces impida que germinen las tropelías con que nos acosamos.

SWITZERLAND
Green Cross is organizing a dialogue with international experts in Zurich on January 30 to shed light on the consequences of nuclear disasters in Japan and the former Soviet Union. This year marks the fifth anniversary of the Fukushima catastrophe, and the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl meltdown, still affecting the people and regional environments to this day.
Green Cross has been working on the ground at Fukushima ever since the disaster hit, and has over 20 years’ experience helping victims of Chernobyl in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The Zurich conference brings together experts and practitioners from Japan, Russia and Switzerland to share experiences and participate in an exchange about the state of atomic energy in the world today.
The event runs from 13h30 to 15h30 in the EPF’s Maximum auditorium (Ramistrasse 101, 8092 Zurich) and features former Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, Swiss Professor Dr. Horst-Michael Prasser, Green Cross’ Dr. Stephen Robinson, Prof. Jonathan Samet from the University of Southern California, and Dr. Vladimir Kusnetsov of the Moscow Electrotechnical Institute. The panelists will each make a presentation, after which they will respond to audience questions. Simultaneous translation will be provided in
English, German, Japanese and Russian.

The government, Nuclear Regulation Authority, power companies and local municipalities with nuclear facilities chose to ignore the voice of nearby municipalities, local citizens and civic society and restarted the No.1 reactor of Kyushu Electric’s Sendai nuclear power plant in August and its No. 2 reactor in October last year without even devising an adequate evacuation plan. Shikoku Electric’s Ikata nuclear power plant No. 3 reactor and Kansai Electric’s Takahama nuclear power plant No. 3 and 4 reactors are also on course for restart after gaining the approval of local mayors. The question remains as to who will take responsibility in case of disaster and how they will go about this. We, the people of Japan, will not tolerate the restart of any nuclear facilities under any circumstances.The authorities are ignoring the high radiation levels and the impact on people’s health, including the possibility of thyroid cancer, in trying to force evacuees to return and start rebuilding their lives without respect for their opinions. We will not accept this. We will not tolerate this.
NO NUKES DAY is a day for united action for a nuclear free future and is a united initiative of Sayonara Genpatsu 10 Million People’s Action, and Genpatsu wo Nakusu Zenkoku Renrakukai and Metropolitan Coalition Against Nukes. The sixth NO NUKES DAY planned for March 26, 2016 is expected to be the biggest demo yet. Let’s unite as a country and put further pressure on the government and power industry to put an end to nuclear power here once and for all.

The government, Nuclear Regulation Authority, power companies and local municipalities with nuclear facilities chose to ignore the voice of nearby municipalities, local citizens and civic society and restarted the No.1 reactor of Kyushu Electric’s Sendai nuclear power plant in August and its No. 2 reactor in October last year without even devising an adequate evacuation plan. Shikoku Electric’s Ikata nuclear power plant No. 3 reactor and Kansai Electric’s Takahama nuclear power plant No. 3 and 4 reactors are also on course for restart after gaining the approval of local mayors. The question remains as to who will take responsibility in case of disaster and how they will go about this. We, the people of Japan, will not tolerate the restart of any nuclear facilities under any circumstances.The authorities are ignoring the high radiation levels and the impact on people’s health, including the possibility of thyroid cancer, in trying to force evacuees to return and start rebuilding their lives without respect for their opinions. We will not accept this. We will not tolerate this.
NO NUKES DAY is a day for united action for a nuclear free future and is a united initiative of Sayonara Genpatsu 10 Million People’s Action, and Genpatsu wo Nakusu Zenkoku Renrakukai and Metropolitan Coalition Against Nukes. The sixth NO NUKES DAY planned for March 26, 2016 is expected to be the biggest demo yet. Let’s unite as a country and put further pressure on the government and power industry to put an end to nuclear power here once and for all.

Five years ago on March 11, 2011 the world suffered it's first triple nuclear meltdown. Our government, scientists and fascist corporate media have done a good job lying and covering up this event to the world public. Locally I feel I'm the only person talking about this.
The salmon die offs in the northwest, dead whales and seals are being blamed on a "toxic algae bloom"; as well as "El Nino "...ahem, B******t!
On the 11th of March 2016, l'm organizing a peaceful demonstration to present, in public, the facts about the ongoing crisis that's killing the Pacific Ocean. I'll update this page w/ documentation from wonderful anti-nuclear activists.
California
Japanese Consulate, 275 Battery Street, San Francisco
March 11, 2016 is the fifth anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe that is still reverberating in Japan and around the world. The nuclear plants are still releasing thousands of tons of radioactive water and over 1000 tanks filled with contaminated radioactive water surround the broken nuclear plants.
The children and families continue to have a rising level of thyroid cancers and this uptick is taking place in other places in Japan. Despite these dangers the Japanese Abe government has said that the problem has been solved. They are demanding the the families and children return to Fukushima or lose subsidies for housing. The government is also claiming that they have "decontaminated" Fukushima and told the Olympic Committee that the problem had been solved.
The government has also raised the limits of allowable radiation for citizens, to those of nuclear facility workers in Japan. The government has also passed secrecy laws that threaten journalists and investigators getting information out about the disaster. Pretending Fukushima never happened won't work. Hundreds of thousands of citizens have gone to the streets to demand an end to the restarting of Japan's remaining more than 40 nuclear plants.
The government is seeking the full militarization Japan by eliminating Article 9 of the constitution that limits wars and intervention, and wants to include nuclear weapons despite mass opposition among the majority of the population.
On March 11, 2016 people throughout the world including in San Francisco will speak out and call for an end to the restarting of Japan's nuclear plants, for the evacuation of children and families in Fukushima and for the government to take responsibility and subsidize housing outside the area!
We call for an end to the censorship laws, and also for the elimination of Article 9, which will lead to further militarization and war.
We call for the closure of all nuclear plants around the world including Diablo Canyon in California, which is also running on an earthquake fault like many nuclear plants in Japan.

Umami Mart and the Center for Japanese Studies present TOHOKU SPRINGS BACK, an evening of food, drinks, music and dancing to commemorate the hardships endured in Tohoku region the last five years, and the people who bring positive change to the area.
We are inviting our friend DJ Marcy from Fukushima (owner of a record shop in Fukushima City called Little Bird) and our friend Tori-chan, who owns a restaurant in Tokyo called Jicca (but herself is from Minami-Soma, in Fukushima). Tori will cook for the event along with Casa de Kei, and DJ Marcy will spin records.
Local jazz band AKIRA TANA and OTONOWA, featuring ART HIRAHARA, MASARU KOGA and KEN NORIYUKI OKADA with guest vocalist SAKI KONO will play a set and there will also be a special talk by Martin Fackler, former New York Times Bureau Chief of Japan -- who was on the ground on 3/11/2011.

Miso Roll with Shiso (しそ巻き); Mushroom Kinpira (きのこのきんぴら); AIZU SOBA Salad (会津蕎麦サラダ); Shio Koji Pickles (三五八ピクルス); Salmon & Ikura Pilaf (鮭はらこ炊き込みおにぎり); Miso-marinated Roast Pork (豚ロース味噌漬け); Anko & Chocolate Ball (あんこトリュフ)
The two non-profit organizations we will be fundraising for will be:
1. Y-PLAN Japan (“Youth – Plan, Learn, Act, Now”), a UC Berkeley leadership and exchange program that has hosted 600 high schoolers from Tohoku since 2012. Through TOMODACHI SoftBank Youth Leadership Program, 100 youth pursue a three-week intensive program on building leadership and social enterprise skills. These funds go towards an event for TOMODACHI students here this summer, to honor and showcase their accomplishments and invite back the many people who've come to know them here through family homestays, field trips and community development work.
2. Safecast, a foundation selling geiger counters kits so people can share their radiation data online in a free, open-source website platform. Yoko and I built a geiger counter with Safecast last month in Shibuya, then went up to Koriyama to visit Safecast volunteers, who have a sensor at their residence. We respect the work of Safecast deeply and are raising funds for geiger counters to be installed in public spaces in Tohoku.
Tickets are $75 general admission, $50 UC Berkeley Students/Faculty. Buy tickets online.Can't join us for the event? Donate to Safecast here. Donate to TOMODACHI SoftBank Youth Leadership Program here. In Step #4, write "Tomodachi Program."

GERMANY
March 4 - 13, 2016, all Germany. For local events, look here.
For the major demos, look here. Last year there were at least
141 events. There are also many events before and after, up to the 30th anniversary of Chernobyl nuclear accident on April 26.
New Initiative!! 2016 marks the 5th anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster and the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl meltdown. Now is the time for change! And we shall start with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
That's why we launch the petition: Stop advertising for nuclear power!
The irreconcilable duality of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which on the one hand acts as a "watchdog" to control military nuclear facilities and on the other hand as a “lapdog”, advertising for civilian use of nuclear power, must end.
The schizophrenia originating from the IAEA statutes makes the organization blind to the catastrophic effects of nuclear power. It is now time to revise the IAEA evaluation of the Chernobyl, that still claims only 52 direct deaths and a total of 4,000 fatalities worldwide resulted from this worst ever nuclear accident.
GLOBAL 2000 is therefore launching a petition to the Austrian government to take action on IAEA reform. Click here for the petition.

5 years living with Fukushima
30 years living with Chernobyl
Effects on health and the environment
The nuclear chain, from uranium mining to nuclear waste The challenge: energy revolution
In 2016, we commemorate the nuclear catastrophes of Chernobyl and Fukushima and renew our call for an immediate end to the use of nuclear energy. IPPNW will inform the public through an international congress what it means for people to live with the consequences of Chernobyl for 30 years – and Fukushima for 5 years.
From February 26th-28th 2016, at the Urania in Berlin, renowned scientists from Japan, the former Soviet Union, Germany, the United States, and all over the world will join committed activists and volunteers who have been working with the affected population in contaminated regions for many years. Together, they will look at what lies ahead: learning from the catastrophic nuclear past means imagining a world free from nuclear threat – and
making this vision reality. We would be very glad if you joined us in Berlin.
Sincerely,
Dr. Angelika Claussen, IPPNW Vice President, EU; Dr. Alex Rosen, Deputy Chair IPPNW DE; Dr. Dörte Siedentopf, IPPNW DE, Nuclear Energy Wrkg Grp; Dr. Barbara Hövener, IPPNW Berlin Regional Group

MAR11 Aufführung Fukushima Dokumentation "A2-B-C"
Friday March 11 at 8:30 PM in UTC+01 (film screening)
Kindertagesstätte "Nimmersatt" des Smiling Faces e.V.,
links neben dem REWE-Markt am Mathildenplatz, Offenbach
Am 11. März 2011 wurde mit dem Tohoku-Erdbeben die bislang größte Nuklearkatastrophe der Menschheit in Gang gesetzt. Bis heute ist das Kernkraftwerk Fukushima Daiichi nicht unter Kontrolle. Japans Regierung setzt noch immer auf Verschleierung und Vertuschung und will ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste eine vermeintliche „Normalität“ wiederherstellen.
Im Anschluss an unsere Mahnwache auf dem Aliceplatz (https://www.facebook.com/events/616019665227104) führen wir die international preisgekrönte und ergreifende Dokumentation "A2-B-C" auf. Der Journalist Ian Thomas Ash gewährt darin einen ungeschönten Blick auf die Katastrophe und deren Opfer.
Da für uns die Information im Vordergrund steht und wir niemanden davon ausschließen möchten, erheben wir keine Eintrittsgelder. Spenden nach eigenem Ermessen sind jedoch willkommen.
Trailer der Dokumentation: www.a2documentary.com
Hinweis: Japanisch mit englischen Untertiteln. Die Dokumentation ist allerdings auch ohne exzellente Englischkenntnisse gut zu verstehen.
