80,000 Voices to Save Our Planet | Hiroshima 2020

This event is currently hampered by obstacles - despite receiving an endorsement letter from Mayor for Peace Kazumi Matsui encouraging funders and the residents of Hiroshima to do all they can to help, funding has been slow. Also, Japan is at serious risk to the coronavirus and is cancelling meetings and events left, right and centre with the possibility that even the Tokyo Olympics might have to be cancelled. 

Undaunted, Gina Langton after a 7-day visit to Los Angeles (same week Kobe Bryant died) to raise interest is now in Hiroshima staying for one month pursuing all possibilities there talking to as many people as possible to raise interest including members of the Rotary Club and other senior business leaders. 

There is still work to be done to get the urgent message of the importance of eliminating nuclear weapons out of Hiroshima.  Gina spoke about the project on local Chupie FM radio on 18th February and will be interviewed for the Chugoku Shimbun on 26th February.

Positive is the fact that 80,000 Voices project is a local event - a low carbon footprint with global reach as it involves mass international youth engagement via the internet rather than on the ground. 

At a time of great crisis, this project is potentially more viable than most other plans that involve large numbers of footfall travelling from other countries.

80,000 Voices' world-class team headed up by creative producer David Zolkwer is still on standby and ready to leap into action as soon as funding comes in. 

We're keeping on going!  Thank you for all your support!
