Future Blog Plans

From here, the blog shall:

• Provide detailed information about "100 Days Action"
• Provide some explanations about Special Residence Permission. (There are cases of individuals who have been granted Special Residence Permission, even after entering the country without clearing Immigration!)
• Convey directly the voices of the individuals seeking Special Residence Permission. We hope to include video.
• Ask for your ideas! (Though we may not be able to carry out many due to limited staff and resources...)
• Update as often as earthly possible...
  

February 1, 2009: Symposium

The 100 Days Action campaign began in February. In fact, the event "The right of migrant workers and their families to live in Japan" held on February 1st, 2009, marked its launch. 80 people, a majority of whom were foreigners currently residing in Japan, came to for a keynote lecture and participate in lively discussion on related topics. Naturally, the whole event was conducted in Japanese - everyone's common language!
