End the Genocidal War in Gaza!  Ceasefire Now!

Israel’s war in Gaza is a genocidal war, aimed at the destruction and/or forced displacement of a people. More than 25,000 are have been killed; 75% of whom are women and children.  85% of the people are displaced from their homes.  Areas people have been told to move to for safety have been bombs.  The health care system has been destroyed and the people are starving.  None of this could be carried out without the financial, military, “intelligence,” and diplomatic backing of the United States.  We call every person with a conscience to publicly oppose the genocide being done in our names.  One way you can raise your voice is to join the millions of people across the world on:

Tuesday, January 23, 2-4pm

Hawai`i State Capitol
Free Palestine! 
Ceasefire Now! 
 









Sunday, January 28, 12noon-6pm

Regardless of whether you voted...No matter who wins
We Must Be In the Streets, 
Beginning the Day After the Midterm Elections
TO DEMAND AND DEMONSTRATE OUR DETERMINATION THAT:

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO!

Protest Wednesday, Nov 7
Thomas Square
4-6PM

March & Rally
Saturday  November 10 4pm 
Gather at Ala Moana Park, Atkinson entrance


This is 
not a “normal” election season.
11 people murdered in a synagogue while they worshipped, allegedly by a man with a terrifying record of unbridled antisemitism. 
15 pipe bombs sent to former presidents, high ranking officials, media institutions, and others who have been repeatedly targeted by Trump.
Two Black people murdered, allegedly by a man who spewed racist epithets and had just been denied entry to an African-American church.
Through it all, Trump never backed off his hate-filled, fascist rhetoric on the campaign trail. Rather, he ramped it up.
Trump’s “Make America Great Again” is a 21st century fascist program of Manifest Destiny – “America First” – wrapped in the flag and Mike Pence’s Bible taken literally, with a program of white supremacy, misogyny, and xenophobia.
Stopping this rapidly escalating fascism cannot be done through the normal process of elections!
Millions of us are shocked and horrified by what is happening, but that only matters if we dare to act in a way that can stop this nightmare. Ultimately, this means millions in the streets day after day, refusing to stop until the whole regime has been removed.
On November 7th and November 10th, join a different kind of protest movement, one that refuses to get swept up in another election cycle that buys our silence and capitulation to fascism, and instead demonstrates our singular demand and determination that:
NO! In the Name of Humanity,
We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!


Be part of the movement to end this nightmare!   Organize your friends, your family, and your classmates to be on the streets on November 7 and 10.  Organize carpools.  Download and distribute leaflets; put up posters at your school and in your neighborhood.  Share the local event pages for November 7 and November 10.  Spread the word everywhere!

Anti-RIMPAC Action at Pearl Harbor!

On Saturday, July 7, there will be a dramatic silent march to protest RIMPAC.   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. 

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.

We ask everyone to wear a black and white shirt.  White masks will be provided.   The white masks are commonly used by anti-war protesters around the world.  

RIMPAC  is largest maritime military exercise in the world.  It causes irreparable damage to sea life, reefs and shorelines and poisons our groundwater.   Huge live-fire exercises at Pōhakuloa contaminate our land.   We will not be silent in the face of such destruction nor be complicit in “war games” to prepare for wars of aggression against the peoples of other countries. 

Read, sign, and circulate our petition against RIMPAC.

Continue to the previous post to read World Can't Wait-Hawai`i's statement against RIMPAC. 

A leaflet calling people to the anti-RIMPAC action was posted earlier.  For ongoing news go to our facebook.

A schedule of actions/events being called by other organizations will be posted here in the near future. 

There will be signmaking for the June 30th action on Sunday afternoon, June 24, from 12noon-2pm.
