On October 24, NIKE Japan held the HUMAN RACE 10km 2009 in Tokyo. On the other hand, NIKE proceeds to kick out homeless people who live in Miyashita Park. The enterprise has two faces.

On September 27, the demonstration took place for protesting against the privatization of Miyashita Park and exclusion of homeless people in Tokyo.

The signing ceremony about the naming rights contract of Miyashita Park was performed behind closed door between NIKE Corporation and Shibuya Ward at Shibuya Ward office at about 4:00 p.m. on August 27.

In the protection of Shibuya Ward staff and Nike Japan employee, The President at NIKE Japan kept complete silence to questions of ctizens, then he left the ward office. As for "the written inquiry" of citizens, NIKE refused even the receipt of the written inquiry.

【Miyashita park summer festival】

From September 2009, Miyashita Park will be fenced in. Despite having not discussed this problem with the public, the plan is being pushed ahead. Therefore on the 30th and 31st of August, 2009 we will hold a festival at Miyashita Park to encourage arts and craft. Please come and join us at Miyashita Park. Viva! Miyashita Park!

Urgent call for action, protest and solidarity.

Smash Nike Japan's plan to take over and privatise a public park in central Tokyo (Miyashita Park in Shibuya ward) by purchasing "naming rights" from the local Shibuya Ward Council.
