Protect Hawaii's Communities. Clear Unexploded Bombs

 

Friend: Hawaii's native residents are at risk from leftover bombs – known as unexploded ordnance (UXO) – left behind from past military training.

These dangerous bombs not only threaten their lives and well being, they also prevent them from using their own land for everything from permanent housing to farming. 

So far, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACE), the organization responsible for leading the remediation efforts, has failed in its duty to remove these dangerous weapons after numerous unsuccessful attempts to make any real progress. 

It's past time for immediate action to clear these bombs from Hawaii and protect the safety of all communities.

Contact Lieutenant General Scott A. Spellmon, the head of the Army Corps of Engineers, to demand that the ACE take immediate and decisive action to clear all UXO from Hawaii.

The daily threat and incredible hardship caused by the presence of UXO is real and urgent.

Native Hawaiians have been waiting for decades for ACE to clear these bombs from their lands.

The government's failure to address this issue has had detrimental consequences for the Native Hawaiian community, and it is time for justice to be served.

It's not just about the physical danger posed by the UXO, it's also about the emotional toll of being denied a basic human need: a safe place to call home.

Hawaii has a long history of military presence. As a result, UXO poses a serious danger and it is crucial that it all be removed as soon as possible.

Contact Lieutenant General Scott A. Spellmon to demand that the Army Corps of Engineers immediately remove all bombs left behind in Hawaii. Every voice counts in this important effort to keep communities safe.

Together, we can protect Hawaii's lives and culture.

Thank you for working for peace,
