It is important that you join because this organization will be what we and you make it to be. At the very least, help us to maintain a Japan-wide network for information and communication. The national bureaucracy reaches everywhere with remarkable standardization but nonetheless combined with local and individual variation, and so, too, must we. We already have members representing numerous nationalities scattered all over Japan, but it is scarcely a fraction of the membership we should have and need to have in order to be effective as an organization. If you are living somewhere where something has happened to further your rights and interests as a non-Japanese married to a Japanese member the community, let us know about it.
Precedents are important.
The more we are able to identify local variation, the more we will be able to encourage innovation. We are a resource, perhaps, but hardly a cure-all. We are human beings, above all else, bungling along like everyone else, trying to help make conditions better for all of humanity, which we are presumptuous enough to assume have similar interests that we do, ultimately if not immediately. Our meetings, too, would make that clear to you. United for a multicultural Japan, All rights reserved.
