The U-gu-i-su (a Japanese singing bird) Ribbon is a campaign
designed to improve awareness regarding protecting freedom of speech.
The uguisu was chosen as the symbol for the campaign as the small bird
enjoys great freedom to chirp and sing, and thus acts as a
representation of our desire to pass along a free society with a rich
culture to the next generation.
Free speech is not a
hollow ideal nor an abstract concept that exists merely on the pages of
legal books. It is an inalienable right that each of us are born with
as we enter into this world and depriving someone of this freedom must
not be tolerated.
We aim for the Uguisu Ribbon campaign to be a
non-partisan movement, a cooperative effort where individuals of
different political and ideological affiliations can work together,
bridging over differences in political and social positions.
Your courage is essential in order to protect freedom of expression.
Please join us in the Uguisu Ribbon campaign.
