Oct. 14, 2022
To U.S. Representative Kai Kahele
Since the beginning of this year, the world has marched mindlessly toward wars and military confrontations, starting with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, continuing military attacks on civilians in Yemen and Palestine, and dangerous escalations of war games in the Pacific Rim. Malu Aina Center for Non-violent Education and Action, along with other concerned citizens, emphatically urge Hawaii’s Congressional delegation to initiate the following actions by the Federal government to defuse the current dangerous policies toward a wider and possibly nuclear war on the Planet:
1) Support a “No Arms Shipment” overseas policy, especially to warring factions.
2) Support the House Resolution 1185 that “calls on the President to embrace the goals and provisions of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and make nuclear disarmament the centerpiece of U.S. national security policy.”
3) Support the repeal of the 1964 Presidential Executive Order that seized 84,000 acres of land at Pohakuloa (as was done to stop the bombing on Kaho’olawe in 1990).
4) Defund and reverse the dangerous escalation of sending billions of dollars of weapons to Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel, Saudi Arabia etc. to fan the flames of war and/ or confrontations.
5) Move at least 50% of the bloated U.S. war budget to urgently-needed Human Needs in the country such as healthcare, housing, education and living-wage jobs.
