Kaori Izumi: an unforgettable force and a tragic loss

We have lost one of the precious ones. We learned today of the passing of Kaori Izumi. Kaori came to the US in September 2011 on a speaking tour. We were with her in Washington, DC, New York City and at Indian Point. Her courage, energy and passion inspired us all. She led the campaign to Shut the Tomari nuclear plant in Hokkaido, but she did so much more. She was determined to tell the world the truth about Fukushima and to urge the world to stop the nuclear madness right away and to shut down nuclear plants. We will miss her. But we must carry on her work. (Pictured below: Kaori speaks at a press conference at Indian Point; gathers with Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition activists; and protests outside the UN in New York).
