From the petition statement, the main concerns and the actions of the
collective is : "Japanese government operate itself too inhumane,
especially for children in Japan. They constantly raise the level of
radiation that a child can be "safely" exposed to. This time, it
announced the capacity is 20 mSv per a year. This is also promoted by
the Ministry of Education. 20 mSv/ year is equal to the amount that a
labor at the reactor may have a leukimia, and may obtain legal work
arrangement. Also, 20mSv is the legal limit of exposure for a worker
in Germany. We demand that Japanese government 1) withdraw this false
statement about 20mSv, and 2) disclose who are the researchers and
professionals involved in decision making, analysis, and actualization
of this evil statement. "
Follow the red lettered description, and fill out the petition here:

Japanese government is raising radiation permissible exposure
standards for children twenty-fold from 1mSv/year to 20mSv/year.
