Mayor From Okinawa Coming to Washington to Try to Stop the Base He Was Elected to Stop
Mayor Susumu Inamine of Nago City in Okinawa, Japan, was elected to block the creation of a new U.S. Marine Corps base. That was his campaign platform. That was the overwhelming view of voters in exit polls.He is coming to Washington to make his case because the U.S. and Japanese governments are ignoring the will of the people of Nago City and of Okinawa as a whole, by proceeding with plans for construction of the base.
Mayor Susumu Inamine will speak
along with Member of the Japanese House of Representatives (Okinawa)
Denny Tamaki and other experts, facilitated by author David Swanson.
