【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.
