O‘ahu Water Protectors Statement Regarding DOH Contested Case

“The Hearing Officer’s recommendations echoes the dire warnings voiced by concerned community members for decades when it comes to the U.S. Military’s toxic practices in these islands.”

The Red Hill crisis presents “the greatest threat to a sustainable way of life on O‘ahu since the illegal overthrow of the sovereign nation of Hawai‘i.”

“We simply do not have time for the Navy’s games. We are not willing to sacrifice our water for war.”

Looking forward, @oahuWP maintains that the struggle to protect the health of Hawai‘i’s lands, waters, and people must also be a struggle to demilitarize Hawai‘i.”

“The heart wrenching testimonies of those impacted by contaminated water remind us that the U.S. Military poses the greatest threat to the health and safety of all peoples, plants, and animals who depend on clean water to survive.”

“The @oahuWP refuse to allow these tanks to burden and endanger other places in Hawai‘i, the Pacific, or anywhere in the world.”

“We insist that the U.S. Navy’s toxic fuel should not be ‘situated’ anywhere.”
