Coalition’s letter to the federal and Hawaiʻi state governments charges United States’ militarism with the perpetuation of violence and oppression across the Pacific.

Hawaiʻi residents discuss plans to prevent nuclear holocaust as the Trump Administration “gears up for imminent war with North Korea.”

Pōhakuloa, like other important places across the Asia-Pacific region, is home to a military base with live fire training.

127 Democrats, including Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, backed the proposed National Defense Authorization Act of 2018.

“I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I’ve had tremendous success. I think I’ve done a lot.”

“We the undersigned firmly oppose the continued destruction of Hawaiʻi and all First Nations lands at the hands of governments, corporations and militaries which prioritize money over the health and well-being of people and the environment.”

Along with troops, the build-up will include the addition of new live-fire training sites, the expansion of Andersen Air Force Base, berthing for a nuclear aircraft carrier, and the creation of a missile defense system on the island.

There is abundant evidence that the military has not complied with the terms of its lease, but state officials want to extend the lease beyond its 2029 expiration date.
