Save the democracy and coral reef of Okinawa

Japan is destroying a coral reef filled with hundreds of rare & endangered species, including the Okinawa dugong, in order to build a new U.S. military base. A lot of the coral are 600-700 years old and cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Many species will go extinct if the construction continues. The base is deemed unnecessary, unworkable, and unaffordable yet construction continues anyway. Japan has been withholding information from the U.S. in order to cover up serious design flaws as well as human rights violations against indigenous Okinawans, who overwhelmingly voted against the base in a HISTORIC referendum. Japan forcibly removes, harasses, and arrests those who oppose. Please STOP the construction of this unnecessary base and SAVE the democracy & coral reef of Okinawa!
