Ceasefire in Gaza and Pohakuloa!

Ceasefire in Gaza Now!

Immediate & Permanent!

Stop the Gaza

Genocide!

Join the weekly Hilo Peace Vigil every Friday from 3:30 to 5 PM at the downtown Hilo Post Office/Federal Building on Waianuenue Ave.

Call County, State, and Federal elected officials for 1. An immediate and permanent Ceasefire in Gaza; 2. End all US military aid to Israel; 3. Terminate the Hawaii/Israel Strategic partnership signed in Oct. 2022; 4. Stop US Bombing of Yemen, etc.

Call for 1. An immediate end to all bombing and live fire at the military 133,000-acre Pohakuloa Toxic Area (PTA) in the center of Hawaii Island. PTA is contaminated by a wide range of military toxins, including Depleted Uranium (DU) radiation from 75 years of bombing and shelling. These tiny DU oxide particles can be carried long distances in the wind and easily inhaled, causing various cancers, birth defects, and genetic damage. 2. Cancel, not renew, the 23,000 acres of State leased conservation zone land for bombing at PTA. 3. Revoke the presidential executive order signed in 1964 that seized 84,000 acres of Hawaiian crown and government lands at Pohakuloa at zero cost for bombing, 4. Make the military clean up its toxic mess and return the lands to the Hawaiian people.

Bombing a dry, windy area like Pohakuloa is a Lahaina fire in the making! Many fires have been started, and large areas burned, by bombing and shelling at PTA. The extremes of climate change are only adding to the risk of further disasters.

Peace organizing meetings are held on the 2^nd and 4^th Mondays of each month at the Kea’au Community Center from 6 – 8 PM and available by Zoom.

Please spread the word. Mahalo.
