The Army has threatened to resume its Stryker brigade expansion and destruction of sacred sites in Lihu'e, Central O'ahu on November 1 despite a federal court ruling that the Army failed to do an adequate environmental impact study for the Stryker expansion, in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Army expansion plans threaten Hale'au'au heiau, the agricultural complex Kukuiolono, and more than 200 recently discovered cultural, religious and possible burial sites. Depleted uranium, chemical weapons, unexploded ordnance and decades of military abuse have contaminated the sacred central Oahu plains, home to our chiefs, threatening the health of our communities from Wahiawa to Wai'anae and Waialua. 

The sacred 'aina of Lihu'e is being held hostage by the Army. Let's stand together to protect our community, our 'aina and our sacred cultural sites from military expansion. We demand that the Army: 1. Immediately halt all Stryker related expansion and construction plans; 2. Allow cultural access to sacred sites in Lihu'e; and 3. Disclose all information about toxic and hazardous materials found in the Stryker project areas including chemical weapons and depleted uranium and the dangers that it poses to public health and the environment. 

Come stand together to protect the aina, protect the people, and stop Stryker!

Sponsored by DMZ-Hawai'i / Aloha 'Aina, AFSC Hawai'i, 'Ilio'ulaokalani, Na Imi Pono and Kipuka. For more information: (808) 988-6266
