The landfill operation resumed to build a new U.S. military base in the Henoko Oura Bay in Okinawa, Japan. The utterly irresponsible, senseless construction is destroying the pristine marine environment which many endangered species call home.

This is an urgent call for support. There is an online petition to the White House underway to stop the construction until a democratic referendum can be held. We need 100,000 signatures by January 7, 2019.

We have launched the National Day of Solidarity for Okinawa. On Tuesday, December 18, in multiple cities across the U.S., events and actions to support Okinawa and to raise awareness about the issue are being organized. 

In Los Angeles, we are screening the documentary film, "Henoko Oura Bay, the Sea of Life" (English subtitles). There will be opportunities to sign the online petition and to discuss what is next for the movement. 

Please join us. It is a free event, and we need every single one of you. Together we can stop this.

Location: Google Map (seating is limited to 100 people)

Parking (Limited): There is parking behind the building. Please enter from Sepulveda Blvd., north of the Ramada Inn. There is a driveway on the left of the building.
