MAKUA SDEIS ACTION ALERT ! Oct 6 Nanakuli HS Cafeteria / Oct 7 Wahiawa District Park RCAloha kakou,URGENT ACTION ALERT TO PROTECT MAKUA VALLEY: Army Threatens to Expand Live-Fire TrainingThe Army plans to expend over two million munitions annually - further destroying the beautiful and sacred Makua valley during their proposed 242/365 days of war games. These munitions include the most threatening illumination munitions, 120mm HE mortars, 155mm HE howitzers, inert TOW missiles and 2.75 caliber rockets, some of which will be launched from helicopters, and all of which the Army admits will increase chances of wildfire and "physical damage and loss of mana for the Native Hawaiian culture" (SEIS 4-199).We are asking for everyone who loves Makua, and who loves our home of Hawaii, to please come to these hearings. The legal process is flawed – yes. But showing opposition to the re-militarization of Makua is important!So please do come, and be bold and bright. If you need a ride, send an email to makua@dmzhawaii.com – we'll coordinate a carpool from Honolulu and the Koolau side.If you have any questions about the action or how you can kokua, please leave a message at DMZ and someone will contact you.DMZ Hawaii/Aloha Aina808-988-6266Information about the Makua DSEIS, including the actual document, may be downloaded from the Army website:http://www.garrison.hawaii.army.mil/makuaeis/default.htmPublic meetings will be held at the locations listed below.
