Just after the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, Congress passed the USA PATRIOT ACT I. And now, the Department of Justice is expected to introduce PATRIOT II which would further erode our civil rights in the US. Meanwhile, in Japan, the Koizumi administration has resurfaced the controversial ‘Yuji hou’ bill which also curtails Japanese civil rights and liberties and expands militarization. How do these bills impact our daily lives here? What does it mean for our friends and families in Japan? How is US domestic and global “war on terrorism” being used against ordinary citizens? Share your concerns and connect with people acting to resist these bills in the US and Japan.

Please help spread the word. Please print out the flyer (flyer in Japanese)and post it at your work place, school, and other community centers. Japanese version will be coming soon.
