Jan. 5, 2024, marks our organization’s 1162nd consecutive weekly peace vigil at the downtown Hilo Post Office/Federal Building. For those not good at math — that’s 22 plus years. Each week I write a new peace leaflet. See this week’s leaflet here — https://malu-aina.org/?p=9636 Many of the faithful who join us each week are senior citizens. one is a 90-year-old Hawaiian Kupuna. The public restrooms at the Hilo Post office have been locked for more than 3 years, since before Covid. Excuse? — the homeless mess them up. There are at least 8 restrooms in the Hilo Post Office/Federal Building. Two on the lanais on each of 3 floors, and several more in the interior of the building. At least open the 2 ground-floor restrooms for the general public. Keep the rest locked for use by the fewer than 50 employees in the building. That sounds like more than a reasonable compromise.
If the US can spend a TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR on its war machine, it should be able to afford to clean the restrooms in its Federal buildings. Shame on our Congressional delegates for not taking action on this. They have been asked repeatedly to do so.
NO MORE EXCUSES!
