U.S. marines seek to expand presence in Oahu while continuing base construction in Okinawa

The U.S. marines continue the illegal construction of the new military base at Henoko, Okinawa, where it is destroying an ancient coral reef home to hundreds of rare and endangered species. The base has been strongly opposed by the overwhelming majority of Uchinanchu (Indigenous Okinawans).
​
Meanwhile, it was announced that the marines are looking to expand their presence on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where the U.S. military already takes up 21% of the land.

​Indigenous Pacific Islanders have long opposed the U.S. military, and are calling for demilitarization, and a restoration of our right to self-determination.
