<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>On Saturday, July 7, there will be a dramatic silent march to protest RIMPAC</strong></span>.</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We'll begin with a press conference at 10am just outside of the Halawa Gate and in front of the big U.S. Pacific Fleet Headquarters sign at the corner of Halawa Drive and Kamehameha Highway. The march will be very short (about a half mile total) and will go along Kamehameha Highway to the Arizona Memorial and back. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because parking is difficult in the area, a chartered trolley will leave the corner of Atkinson/Ala Moana (in Ala Moana Park) at 9:30am. Call 944-3106 for reservations. You can also take city buses Nos. 6 and 40. The trolley will then pick us up and take us back to the starting point. Check regularly for more info on transportation.</span></div>

<br />
<span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Stop
RIMPAC<br />
Stop U.S. Wars of Aggression</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Last week
Defense Secretary Mattis announced that the U.S.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> Pacific Command, the military’s
largest geographical area command based in Honolulu, has a new name: “<span>U.S.</span> Indo-Pacific Command.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>According to Mattis, this formalizes the U.S.’s commitment to “</span><span style="background: white; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">stretch beyond East Asia and into the
subcontinent, in part to better compete with China and Iran.”</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="background: white; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">This change in
name also overtly expresses the U.S.’s determination to exercise military
control of the region just prior to Mattis’s series of meetings with leaders of
Indo-Pacific countries at the </span><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">2018
International Institute for Strategic Studies Shangri-La Dialogue in
Singapore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="background: white; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Under Trump’s administration, the Pentagon has
prioritized a stronger relationship with India, in particular, which is seen as
an essential supporter in maintaining shipping lanes which are currently being
challenged by China, as well as support for U.S. wars in Afghanistan, the
Middle East and Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

takes place just before the Rim of the Pacific Military Exercise (RIMPAC), <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the largest maritime military exercise in the
world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year 26 nations, more than 25,000
personnel, 45 ships, 5 submarines, and 250 planes are expected to participate
in the month-long “war games” in Hawai`i in order to better prepare the U.S.
for wars of aggression in the Indo-Pacific – an area that now stretches from
the coasts of the Americas to the coasts of Africa, India, and Middle eastern
countries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

exercises have been conducted biennially since 1971, but this year’s June
exercises are the largest ever and a reflection of both the U.S.’s military
expansion and contention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>China, which
was previously a participant, has been suddenly “disinvited.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Israel, with its close proximity to Iran,
has been invited to participate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the
Trump administration continues Obama’s “Pivot to the Pacific” (now renamed the
“Pacific Rebalance” by the Trump Regime), it is anticipated that these “war games”
will grow, sending an ominous message to the people of the world, as well as to
people in Hawai`i.</span></span></div>

destroyed. Military fuel storage tanks are leaking poisons into the
drinking water in Hawai`i's most populous city. Vast areas of land
and water are so toxic as to be unusable. In a state where land is
extremely limited the U.S. military occupies a larger percentage of land
than in any other state, paying only $1/year for each base or tract.
This has contributed to making Hawai`i #1 in cost of living, as well as in
homelessness. </span></span></div>

The march begins at Gateway Park, goes along Kalakaua Avenue to Lewers, turns right on Lewers to Kalia, and then up Saratoga. There will be a noisy stop at Trump Tower on Saratoga Road before returning to Gateway Park. The march is less than one mile. <br /><br /> Bring your signs. your noisemakers and drums, your energy, and your friends.<br /><br /> To avoid parking in Waikiki take the bus from Ala Moana or walk from Ala Wai Park, or bike it. The cheapest parking nearby is at the Kalakaua Plaza at $7 for two hours (on Kalakaimoku Street; about a block away). Other (more expensive) parking is available on Kalia Road at and the Waikiki post office on Saratoga).</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055063816171083926.post-21301174640892110792018-01-11T19:13:00.005-08:002018-01-11T19:18:31.942-08:00Join our Contingent in the MLK Day Parade!<div style="border-image: none;">

Some drivers honk; some give the thumbs up or shaka sign; far fewer flash the middle finger. Hanging banners over the freeways is a quick, easy, and legal way to get the word out to thousands. You just have to hang onto the banners and signs tightly! </span></div>

On Saturday, September 26th, more than 100 people joined a "Women's March" through Waikiki. The march was originally called by Indivisible Hawai`i to commemorate the 97th anniversary of the day women won the right to vote but was quickly eclipsed by events of today: the escalation of attacks on women's rights by the fascist Trump/Pence regime, the resurgence of racism, immigration rights and more. People came with signs and drums; some came in costume. <br />

Refuse Fascism brought Handmaid cloaks and bonnets (if you aren't familiar, this is taken from Margaret Atwood's "Handmaid's Tale", a novel about a "not to distant future" when women are reduced to breeders). J20 brought stunning placards with faces of women of color who made extra-ordinary sacrifices to win the right to vote but were excluded from the Suffragette movement because of their race. The "Windward Resisters" came dressed as Suffragettes Many brought creative signs of their own. </div>

Protesters drummed while chants rang out through Waikiki: "No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA" They were loud, visible and fast-moving. People in shops and restaurants came to windows. Tourists on hotel lanais towering above Kalakaua came came to the railings. Many snapped photos, clapped or made approving gestures; a few scowled. Hundreds of the Call to November 4th were distributed along the route. </div>

For more than half an hour protesters lined the front of Trump Tower, keeping up the drumming and chanting, before returning to Honolulu Zoo. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
Six months ago people coming to protests were very reluctant to recognize that the Trump/Pence Regime was fascist. That has changed dramatically. Now many come with their own signs denouncing fascism. They initiate anti-fascist chants, and many pick Refuse Fascism's big "NO! In the name of humanity, we REFUSE to accept a Fascist America." </div>

In response, <a href="http://www.revcom.us/a/504/charlottesville-protests-erupt-nationwide-en.html">thousands of people</a> took to the streets in cities across the U.S. in anger and disgust with a president and regime that would side with Klan members, Nazis, and other white supremacists who marched with torches, were armed to the teeth, and chanted slogans against Black people and Jews. In Hawai`i several hundred gathered for a vigil at Magic Island (see previous blog post). <br />
<br />
Then on Tuesday, Trump doubled-down on his support for white supremacy. World Can't Wait-Hawai`i immediately initiated a protest at the Federal Building on Wednesday. 30 people came out with less than 24 hrs notice. Several hundred demonstrated at New York's <a href="https://refusefascism.org/2017/08/17/philly-honolulu-new-york-protests-against-trump-continue/">Trump Tower</a>. <strong>This Saturday, August 19th, Amnesty Int'l-Hawai`i is calling for another action in Waikiki. Meet at Kapiolani Park, just outside of the Shell, at 6pm.</strong> Bring signs!<br />

We've distributed leaflets at events, displayed signs and posters, and have given talks at rallies. Here are just a few of the events we've attended:<br />

On August 24th we joined about 20 people who came out to hold signs for Health Care for All in</div>
front of the Federal Building. The action was just days before the vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act in Congress. There were lots of honks and thumbs up and only a few loud Trump supporters.<br />

On August 28 about 40 people came to a gathering at Magic Island to protest the ban against transgenders in the military. While we are against U.S. military actions anywhere, oppose the military presence in Hawaii, and do not think anyone should join the U.S. military, we also firmly believe bigotry anywhere is wrong and intolerable! <br />

On August 4th we brought our big posters listing the Trump/Pence Regime's crimes against the people to the sold-out Jack Johnson Concert Friday evening. While some of us leafleted the almost 3-hour line, the posters were held near the front of the line where everyone going to the concert could see them. Many thanked us and we got out hundreds of copies of the Call to Refuse Fascism but we were really surprised to find a lot of pro-Trump supporters in the line (maybe 25%!). Some said they thought climate change was "fake news"! What were they doing at a Jack Johnson concert? As several said, "We just listen to the music and not the words!"<br />

On August 5th our big posters made an appearance at the fundraiser for the water protectors arrested at Standing Rock. The fundraiser, organized by 350.org, featured a new film on the resistance at Standing Rock, as well as talks by Andre Perez, Kalama Niheu, and an activist from Standing Rock. One attendee, reading the poster on the Regime's attacks on the environment commented: "I had no idea....I thought the buffoon wasn't getting <u>anything</u> done!" <br />

On August 8th people entering Hanabusa's Town Hall meeting couldn't miss our signs at the entrance. We were there to speak out against warmonger Hanabusa's support of the anti-BDS Act (which would represent a further attack on the Palestinian people, as well as on protest in the U.S) and against launching a war against North Korea (she told us not to worry about nuclear war!?!). She lied on single payer health questions,, obfuscated on most issues, and used delay tactics to make sure she couldn't respond to most of the questions people brought. The evening ended with a chant: "No attacks on BDS!".<br />

On Sunday, August 13, two days after the murder of a counter-protester in Charlottesville, several hundred gathered at Magic Island to show their solidarity with counter-protesters and mourn the victims. Many applauded when the World Can't Wait spokesperson called on people to find the courage to stand up and fight against the Nazi thugs and white supremacists. What happened in Charlottesville must be a clarion call to everyone to fight fascism, racism, and bigotry, wherever it exists -- including in Hawai`i.<br />

World Can't Wait/Refuse Fascism Hawai`i and Crossroads Mission for Peace, Justice and the Stewardship of Creation organized a <strong>"Festival of Resistance Against the Trump/Pence Agenda"</strong> on the beautiful grounds of Church of the Crossroads on Saturday, July 8, from 10am until 3pm. We thank all of the organizations, speakers, musicians and artists who contributed to strengthening the movement of resistance to the fascist policies of the Trump/Pence Regime. Following is a summary with photos. </div>

The Festival featured four 50 minute workshops on immigration, climate change, fascism/dissent, and war/militarism. Featured speakers included Amy Agbayani (immigration), Mark Hixon (climate change), Kit Grant of ACLU (dissent), Sharon Uyeno (fascism), Kim Compoc (militarism of the Pacific), Carolyn Hadfield (expanding war). However, in each workshop other members of the community shared their experiences, asked questions, and kept the sessions lively. </div>

Some participants were new to the subject; others had a wealth of experience. Many told organizers that they wish there were more discussions where a diverse group discussed particular aspects of the Trump/Pence agenda where they both learned and had the opportunity to express their own fears and thoughts. </div>

When James Comey was fired there were protests across the U.S. and we immediately sent out a call to protest at the Federal Building. About 40 people came with creative signs, drums and other noisemakers to show their outrage. Response from motorists along Ala Moana Blvd. was unusually enthusiastic. </div>

On Memorial Day some activists went to the Annual Lantern Floating event at Ala Moana Park to distribute the <a href="http://www.refusefascism.org/">Refuse Fascism</a> leaflet. Response was limited. Hundreds of people took the leaflet; some were enthusiastic; some were just curious; a few were upset and said they supported Donald Trump. We met hundreds of people who were frustrated and angry about Trump's policies and were able to talk with people we wouldn't meet at demonstrations and intend to do more outreach in the community. </div>

On June 1st World Can't Wait/Refuse Fascism called for an emergency action in response to the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords. About 40 people came to the Federal Building on June 2nd - only 20 hours later. The mood among the protesters was both disbelief and outrage. </div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;">The firing of FBI director James Comey is an outrageous escalation in the un-relenting onslaught of the fascist moves from the Trump/Pence Regime. It reveals theTrump/Pence's regime total disregard of the rule of law and due process & justice. We must not wait it out. Take to the streets, demand Trump, Pence, Session and the whole regime be driven from power.</span><br /> <br />
