Hi Blog. This just came through. Good idea (Debito.org is doing a similar awareness-raising campaign with JAPANESE ONLY T-shirts.<\/a>), so passing this along. Debito<\/p>\n

Dear Friends & Associates<\/p>\n

As you probably know, 22-year-old Lindsay Ann Hawker was teaching English in
\nJapan when she was brutally murdered at the end of March this year. Tatsuya
\nIchihashi remains the Japanese police’s only suspect and has still not been
\nfound. <\/p>\n

In support of Lindsay’s family and the Japanese police in their hunt for
\nthis man, I am launching a T-shirt campaign. I hope that enough people – men
\nand women, Japanese and foreign – will wear this T-shirt so that this man’s
\nface is seen by as many people as possible in Japan, on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

I met with Lindsay’s family yesterday, who said: “The more people that wear
\nthe T-shirts, the more support that we will feel is being shown for us.
\nLindsay was a teacher, who loved her life in Japan. She would have been
\nfirst in the queue to buy and wear such a T-shirt for another victim. She
\nhad a strong sense of justice, and would have done anything she could have
\nto have helped others.”<\/p>\n

PLEASE play a part in assisting Lindsay’s family in keeping this man’s face
\nright where people can see it. Buy a t-shirt and wear it at the gym,
\ndropping the kids off at school, going shopping, on the train, and just
\nwalking around – wear it anywhere you will be seen by many people. If you
\ndon’t live in Japan, why not help by buying shirts for us to give to people
\nwho do?<\/p>\n

There are many things you can do to help: buy and wear a T-shirt, buy LOTS
\nof T-shirts for us to give to people to wear, volunteer to help with the
\ncampaign, get your company involved, and pass on this email to all your
\nforeign and Japanese friends living in Japan. If you are involved with any
\nprint media, we also have a print campaign you are welcome to use.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the Hawker family, thank you very much for your support.<\/p>\n

Caroline
