Henoko Environmentalists to Speak at KCC Tuesday, 12/1, 7pm

From: Ukwanshin Kabudan <ukwanshinkabudan@gmail.com>

Takuma Higashionna and Hideki Yoshikawa of the Okinawa Dugong Environmental Assessment Watch Group will be on Oahu this week to report on the status of their struggle to save their coast from the construction of a U.S. Marine airbase. Both men are environmentalists who have been involved with the close-to 5-year sit-in at Henoko in northeastern Okinawa, and also participated in a historic lawsuit that brought the US Department of Defense to court. On Tuesday, December 1, 2009, both men will share information about the environmental issues surrounding the Henoko struggle as well as an update on the situation there. Please attend if you can. Also, please circulate to as many people as you can. Here is the information on the event:
