Anti-war and anti-APEC Action (Appeal)
Although this action was letting park use / demonstration application
pass two days ago, it became urgent action at the skill and it was inadequate
information, 30-person remainder still concentrated. (it is thankful
to the member who do bore things). It and this have the bad jurisdiction
office which does not issue use permission of the Shinjuku park unfairly.
Since the rainning stopped in the evening, action committee went propaganda
near the east of Shibuya station 18:00. The handwriting villa includes
the hand of people going Shibuya, Tokyo.
18:30 -- past -- the Miyashita park -- a meeting start The statement
of protest to APEC which the way made in the national terrorism execution
organization of a bush does not have, either, winds, and can come is
read out, it resists to the last to the vulgarness of global capital
which exploits the laborer people earnestly, and the position of ACA
of joining in the anti-globalism fight in the world aiming at capitalism
demolition is checked.
30 demonstrators of ACA went out with sufficient energy to Shibuya
of night. The red and black flag of ACA waved for the first time in
self-organized action. In addition, flags of participant was flown and
the youth in a town is fascinated. Sprechchor is anti-war, anti-APEC,
and anti-globalization. It is first that the sprechchor which
cries for demolition of globalization echoes to Shibuya, so everybody
looked strange face. (although always looked the face).
In a demonstration, Starbucks was first candidate of direct protest
. Against this shameless super-exploitation international company, ACA
members made protest sprechchor loudly "Starbucks should not
exploit South-American people!" and "Don't force the people coffee
mono-culture". Although the customers made the faces that said whether
is what was carried out, after our call is heard, the faces changed
to be unpleasant, or laughing.
Shibuya is a famous town for the tremendous comsunption culture, justly
incarnating globalization. The candidate for a protest of demonstrators
was not only Starbucks, and also McDonalds of course. The customers
made their faces seemed to be disagreeable, or were laughing as if saw
the new thing, while demonstrators "Mac needs to accept a labor union!",
"Don't burn down woods!", "Don't use genetically modified food!", "Demolish
the imperialistic McDonalds!" and "We censure McDonalds for destruction
of environment!". But just for a moment everybody of customers, McDonalds
provide cheap foods for us, but it makes our life poor...
Furthermore, protest continued. You know clothing company called UNIQLO?
It is the greedy company which is carrying out consistently from production
to retail, production organization is just made multinational, and tend
to expand market in overseas, mainly West. The rake-off constitution
of UNIQLO is nasty that take the greate profit margin to sell cheaply
in Japan, securing a production base especially in China and exploiting
earnestly Chinese laborers. People who had gone Shibuya attended again
to ACA demonstrators for calling "Do not exploitChinese people, UNIQLO!!".
ACA encountered again McDonalds and Starbacks shops, was amazed the
increase of these globalization company, and took protest action. Finally,
demonstration was accomplished as energy, such as forming a scrum, raising
anti-war and the call of anti-globalization.
In the latter meeting, comrades appealed of anti-war struggle of every
place, and ACA raised reassuringly protest action (sit-in) in front
of the Defense Agency against participation of war of the SDF (Self
Defense Forces = Japanese army).
Take action together on anti-globalization and anti-war struggle!
