Aileen Mioko Smith is the executive director of Green Action, a Japanese citizens’ organization (NGO) working to end nuclear power in Japan. Following the Fukushima disaster, governments and international organizations became more receptive to the message of Green Action and other anti-nuclear groups (like Stop Tomari and Beyond Nuclear). This article explains the mission of these groups, which is typical of anti-nuclear activists in Japan. It profiles several individuals who traveled to the U.S.A. to spread their message, arguing that nuclear power must be phased out around the world.
