Sign-Up to Visit Okinawa!
Please sign-up as a participant in "The Visit to U.S. Bases in Okinawa." Ordinary citizens participating on the trip will get a chance to travel to Okinawa, talk to local residents, and get a first hand experience to see the real situation of U.S. bases in Okinawa. This is an event sponsored by PeaceBoat and U.S. for Okinawa, NGOs based in Japan. For inquiries and applications, please contact U.S. for Okinawa at emilie@peaceboat.gr.jp.
Please Donate Now!
Please consider a donation to Japan-US Citizens for Okinawa Network (JUCON) / Network for Okinawa (NO).We’re preparing an ad to appear in the Washington Post that will emphasize the widespread opposition to any new base or base expansion; the threat of U.S. plans to the fragile Okinawan ecosystem; and the need for the U.S. to respect democratic process in other nations. JUCON has raised tens of thousands of dollars. And now the Network for Okinawa needs to raise money in the U.S. to make this a true transnational effort. So, please consider donating to our cause. Even small donations make a big difference. And your contributions are tax-deductible.
