This Saturday, June 11th, at 1PM in Tompkins Square Park:
Red Channels + Todos Somos Japon are scaling up the origami crane-folding tradition by making giant paper cranes out of five-foot squares of paper to protest nuclear reactors here and abroad on the 3-month anniversary of Fukushima.
This event is in solidarity with mass protests in Japan.
We DEFINITELY need your help to fold these ginormous cranes - folding instruction will be given on site!!!
COME MAKE THE BIGGEST ORIGAMI CRANES YOU'VE EVER SEEN WITH US AND FLY IN THE FACE OF THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY!!!

Maybe if the radiation limit can be officially increased to twenty-fold, we must fold these cranes at twenty times the scale.
The Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Co - TEPCO - both raised “safe” radiation limits in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster - from 1mSv to 20mSv.
Maybe if the brink of annihilation is too comfortable a perch, we need wings big enough to take off without GE or TEPCO.
TEPCO has refused to take adequate financial responsibility for the affected lives, meanwhile GE, the manufacturer of the reactor, has topped their forecasted profits for the quarter...
Maybe if we beat the air harder, we can generate enough wind to reach Indian Point, skid across the plains, stir the ocean.
The Obama Administration has invested in new nuclear reactors, to benefit, among others, the Indian Point Power Plant less than 40 miles north of New York City.
Maybe these cranes don’t grant wishes or summon peace.
Maybe these cranes declare war on a disastrous industry.
Maybe these cranes demand more than relief after the fact.
Maybe we’re just not making them big enough.
