Three years after the Fukushima nuclear disaster started thousands of Japanese take to the street demanding an end to nuclear power. On this week’s show, we’ll go to Japan where the Fukushima plant continues to spew tons of radioactive water. Then we’ll head back to the Bay where the Center for Asian American media presents CAAM Fest 2014.

We’ll also be speaking with Aimee Suzara about her new book, “Souvenir.”

She organizes with the No Nukes Action Committee which organizes protests on the 11th of each month at the Japanese Consulate (50 Fremont St., San Francisco).
