Dear friend,

As I write from the Greenpeace ship Esperanza, heading to face the Japanese whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to stop them from killing 945 whales, I need to ask you to help us from your own home.

Last year we managed to stop the whalers from killing 82 whales by putting ourselves between the whales and the harpoons.

While it is vital to stand in the line of fire, what we are doing here, in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary, will not be enough to save all the whales forever!

We urgently need you to take action from wherever you are.

Campaign with us. Call the Danish embassy in your country and tell the Danish government not to attend the so-called "Normalisation" meeting that Japan is holding next month in Tokyo.

IN JUST A FEW DAYS' TIME THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT WILL BE HOLDING A SO-CALLED "NORMALISATION" MEETING IN TOKYO, IN THE HOPE THAT THEY CAN PERSUADE MORE COUNTRIES TO AGREE TO A RETURN TO FULL COMMERCIAL WHALING. THE MORE COUNTRIES THAT GO, THE MORE THE JAPANESE OFFICIALS WILL CREATE THE ILLUSION THAT THE WORLD WANTS WHALING BACK.

DENMARK IS ONE COUNTRY THAT IS PLANNING TO GO TO THIS MEETING.

Please, call the Danish ambassador now. Tell them to ask their government NOT to attend the 13th February Normalization meeting in Tokyo and to strongly oppose commercial whaling.

You'll find the phone number, who to ask for, what to say, and all the information you need on Magrite's campaign on our I-GO Site"

After you make the call, please let us know. Leave a comment here at Magrite's campaign thread about your experience, so others know what you've done.

Thousands of Greenpeace supporters around the world are contacting Danish embassies in dozens of countries - please join in! To get more involved in the campaign, visit our cool new I-GO site.

Remember 945 whales are waiting for your help!

Sincerely,

SARA HOLDEN
