Hello everyone!
Hope you are healthy and safe - where ever you are!

online and schedules are changing so please be sure to check event
websites or confirm with the organizers.
I would like highlight the Black Live Matter Tokyo March
being organized by TUJ students on June 14. There be people from many
different organizations, educational institutions and backgrounds. On
Sunday, there are 3 or 4 protests and marches in the area, so it's
important to be there by 2:30pm or you might get caught up in the wrong
march! On the FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/248589456432884/ you can find out more about the location and details about how-to for the March. This is a peaceful March
to bring attention to these important issues. Please wear a mask,
observe social distancing and be safe. Please share the info with your
friends and one social media.
Even if you cannot join in person, you can show support online using
social media - on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Be sure to also
contact/tag your elected officials. Be sure to include hastags such as
#BLM #BlackLivesMatter #BLMTokyo. Official posters are below and may be
shared online - see below for more info!
Looking forward to seeing you on Zoom this week!
