3.  Tuesday June 19, the Berkeley City Council is voting on its resolution to close down California nukes and replace with clean energy. (The last vote was postponed to allow support to grow)  If you're in the area, please come to a rally with Joanna Macy and Daniel Ellsberg at 6 pm before the Council meeting at 2134 MLKing Way and stay on to help influence the vote. Again, if you can't make it--no matter where you are--you can email the Council members with the easy system in the "alert" section of the following website:http://www.nuclearfreecal.org/nfcnet/category/alerts/  (Click on "Tell Berkeley to vote YES," then on "sample email," then on "click here.")

4. On Saturday June 22, activists will gather in San Francisco and Los Angeles at the Japanese Consulates from 3-5 PM (50 Fremont St/Mission St. San Francisco) to support the moving protests in Japan that have called on the prime minister NOT to reopen the Ooi nuclear plant there.  These protests have been huge and not covered by Japanese media. In California simultaneous actions in LA and SF on the 22nd will support the Japanese activists as part of a world-wide effort. The theme is "Shut Down, Not Meltdown: Keep Japan Nuclear-Free/Keep All Nuclear Plants Shut Down in Japan.  You can also call the Japanese Embassy, (202) 238-6700.  

Wherever you are, please watch this stirring video of Fukushima women speaking their truth to their Prime Minister and do what you can to support them. It is really moving.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYQNd2ybiDg&feature=youtu.be
