ON OCT. 4 HOME DEPOT AND WALMART SHOPPERS in HILO WILL BE ASKED TO

BOYCOTT HONEYWELL PRODUCTS TO PROTEST DRONES AND WAR.

Meet on Maka’ala St. sidewalk fronting Home Depot

On Saturday, Oct. 4, from 10AM till noon anti-war picketers under the banner of Malu ‘Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action will ask Home Depot and Walmart shoppers at the Hilo Maka’ala St. stores not to buy Honeywell consumer products such as fans, air purifiers, thermostats, dehumidifiers, etc. because Honeywell also makes engines for MQ-9 Reaper killer drones as well as other war materiel, including nuclear weapons.

Local peace activist Jim Albertini said “this is an opportunity for consumers to vote for peace with your hard earned dollars.  Boycott Honeywell products.”

“We are now in a new war and our members of Congress can’t even call for a vote on it, much less stop it, because they are responsive only to big arms makers and energy-related companies like Honeywell,” said Nick Mottern,  organizer for the nation-wide Boycott and Divest Honeywell campaign http://www.badhoneywell.org “It’s time to put pressure on the CEOs who are the real bosses of U.S. politics rather than expecting members of Congress  who take campaign money from arms makers, to represent our interests.”

Home Depot and  Wal-Mart store carries Honeywell stand and ceiling fans, air purifiers, thermostats, humidifiers, and other products.

The Hilo action will be in solidarity with similar demonstrations across the country targeting Honeywell International for its war profiteering activities and asking consumers and retailers like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Target, Amazon and Apple to sever their ties with Honeywell.

Beside Hilo, Hawaii, actions are planned on and around Oct. 4 for New York, NY; Rochester, NY; White Plains N.Y.  Coconut Creek, FL; the Twin Cities, MN; Columbia, SC; Boston, MA; and San Francisco, CA. This series of protests will inaugurate the long-term, nationwide BadHoneywell campaign.

British company G4S connected to Israeli prisons has a Hilo office

G4S supplies Israeli prisons with services and equipment including Ofer prison which holds Palestinian children under military detention often without charge for long periods.  G4S is complicit in Palestinian child detention in Israel, war profiteering and bolstering the occupation of Palestine.  It is on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) list.

Perhaps this office can be a stop on Oct. 25th in Hilo’s March for Palestine.

Dear Friends,

I am sharing an article by my daughter Kali (still living in Iraq) re-posted on CL with an action item.

Why Is The United Nations Doing Business With G4S, Notorious Prison Supplier?

I hope everyone is doing well in spite of the despicable actions of our government.

Thank you for continuing to work for change.

My Best,

Malu ‘Aina new water tank

Hurricane/Tropical Storm Iselle downed two large ohia trees on our Malu ‘Aina main water catchment tank and broke all the pipes going in and out of the tank.  It still holds some water so we ran new pipes in and out to make due.  The storm damage here could have been much worse but it was bad enough.  Just yesterday we finally got a new tank set up and gutters and pipe going in.  Last night’s rain put about 600-800 gallons in the new tank so we are happy. Now we have the run a new line from the tank to connect to the house.
