World Can’t Wait and other peace groups are calling for a demonstration near President Obama’s winter vacation site in Kailua, O’ahu:
Spread the Word!
Tell Obama what’s on YOUR mind!
Speak Out Against War, Torture and Militarism!
Saturday, December 26
10am
President Obama is scheduled to arrive in Hawai`i on December 23rd and will be staying in Kailua. We urge people to take this opportunity to speak out against the escalation of the war in Afghanistan, the continuation of the U.S. occupation of Iran, torture, support for Israel’s war against the Palestinian people – and the expansion of U.S. militarism everywhere everywhere (including in Hawai`i and Guam). And there are many more issues you may want to speak to!
Where? Kailuana Pl. in Kailua If you’re driving from Honolulu, go across the Pali and through Kailua town to Kalaheo Avenue (you’ll dead end and have to go left or right). Turn left on Kalaheo Avenue. Kailuana is just before Mokapu Blvd and runs along the right side of the canal so if you cross the canal you’ve gone too far. Turn right on Kailuana and go as far as you can. We’ll be at the security check point. From Kaneohe or the H3 take a right turn on to Kalaheo Ave off of Mokapu Blvd, cross over bridge. You’ll probably see police vehicles. Then right after crossing the canal take a left turn onto Kailuana Pl. There will be limited parking because this is a neighborhood. We strongly suggest carpooling. You may have to drop your passengers off near the checkpoint and then go back and park your car in the neighborhood. If you can’t figure out these instructions, just enter Kailuana Place, Kailua, 96734 in mapquest.
BRING SIGNS! We’ll have a limited number of signs against the wars in Afghanistan, the bombing of Pakistan, the occupation of Iraq, torture, and U.S. support for Israel. Bring your own signs with the message you want heard.
There’s a possibility that the plans will change. Today there’s some talk that Obama will delay his Christmas trip until after the health care vote (expected Christmas Eve?). If you have any doubt about whether the protest will happen go to 534-2255.
