They said it was impossible to stop Military activity on Kaho'olawe for National Security reasons. That was clearly untrue and after a decade of tireless work by committed Hawaiian people and their supporters, the bombing finally stopped. It is equally true regarding Pohakuloa. Kaho'olawe, known as "the Target Isle", is now uninhabitable, with a broken water table and unexploded ordinance all throughout the land and sea from over 50 years of bombing. Help us to prevent the nickname of "The Big Island" changing to "The Bombed Island". Inform yourself and others about what is going on. Thank you for becoming a Peaceful Protector if you aren't already. It's time.
Mahalo! (Thank You)

Mahatma Gandhi once said "A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history". This outdated story of reckless and unnecessary destruction is changing every time we voice the obvious alternative. Mahalo for finding the courage to join those who have come to realize that we've run out of time. Mahalo to everyone from all over the world who has contributed in large and small ways to doing what is simply the right thing to do. What is done to the land is in fact done to the people and Hawai'i is the 'Endangered Species Capitol of the world'...Enough is clearly enough. Mahalo for visiting and sharing this site. Mahalo for helping Pohakuloa.
Please join us April 18th
Call to Action!!! Three ways to Protect Pōhakuloa!
1.) Please share and ADD a photo of yourself and your loved ones with the same messages as below!
Urge young people and off island Lahui to make their own signs and post with their photos on social media!! When you post add the hashtags
#protectpohakuloa #PTAShutdown #protectourkeiki #seeyouonthemauna
2.) Thurs, April 18, 2019 Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA). Main Gate 9AM-1PM
Protest “Experience PTA Day” events where the military has invited school children to attend, despite KNOWN HEALTH RISKS. We encourage young folks, those who are hapai, or in ill health to post photos, make calls and raise awareness and not risk their health at the 4/18 PTA Gate Protest.
(Car pools 8AM from Hilo @Komohana & Saddle)
3. Contact the DOE and tell them to stop sanctioning students to go to Pōhakuloa! If you have Keiki on Moku on Keawe, please call their school today and ask if they are sponsoring a trip to “Experience Pōhakuloa” on April 18th. Even if your keiki didn’t bring home a permission slip, another class could be going. Please read the shared post for talking points on why their school schools not be going.
AT THE VERY LEAST, all school permission slips need to include that their children will be exposed to Depleted Uranium Oxide, known to cause cancer and a link explaining the health dangers (link below). Most parents just aren’t aware, and schools have a responsibility provide this crucial information, otherwise they are complicit in risking children’s lives.
Please view the short video of Dr. Lorrin Pang, M.D., public health officer and retired Army Medical Corps explaining the health dangers of inhaling DU oxide dust particles
(See https://vimeo.com/19153948).

On Thursday, April 18, 2019 the 133,000-acre military Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) is hosting an “Experience Pohakuloa Day” event at the base from 9AM till 1PM. School children, parents and people from the community are being invited on base. It should be noted that Pohakuloa is a hazardous toxic waste dump from more than 75 years of live-fire training of weapons by the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. More than 14 million live-rounds are fired annually at Pohakuloa. Depleted Uranium (DU) radiation rounds have been used at PTA.
Please view the short video of Dr. Lorrin Pang, M.D., public health officer and retired Army Medical Corps explaining the health dangers of inhaling DU oxide dust particles
(See https://vimeo.com/19153948).
Allowing children in your care to attend programs at Pohakuloa unnecessarily puts them at risk.
Hawaii is NOT for war training...WE LIVE HERE!!!
Here's how the Military is inviting the public to celebrate this year's Earth Day...
Please do not let your children go to PTA...
The health dangers of inhaling DU oxide dust particles are well documented and can be deadly. View Dr. Lorrin Pang's video below about these dangers and share the information! Be well!
Join our social networks to stop the bombing!
If you can't be present for the Protest on April 18th, make a sign, take your picture and share it with us on Facebook and other platforms.
"Continued Bombing, Polluting and Desecrating the Hawaiian Islands is Illegal, inhumane, astronomically expensive, reckless, unnecessary and amoral"
