Na NU kuee, ʻO ka Hikina Hoko, Fepeluali 1, 2022
He poʻe Kūʻē ʻĀkau mākou.
He hoʻolaha hou mākou i hoʻokumu ai nā haumāna i ke kahua no ka hakakā ʻana i ka militarism ma ka pā kula.
ʻO Dissenters he hui anti-militarist, anti-imperialist a abolitionist e alakaʻi ana i ka hanauna o ka poʻe ʻōpio e hoʻihoʻi i ka mea i hao ʻia mai ka ʻoihana kaua, e hoʻokomo hou i nā ʻoihana ola a hoʻoponopono i kā mākou pilina me ka honua. Ke kūkulu nei nā Dissenters i nā mokuna o ka poʻe ʻōpio ma nā pā kula ma nā wahi holoʻokoʻa o Turtle Island e hōʻino i ka militarism a hoʻoikaika i nā elite ikaika a me nā luna i koho ʻia e haʻalele i ka make a hoʻolilo i ke ola a me ka ho'ōla.
Ua komo ka Militarism i ka honua, akā ʻo mākou ka hanauna e hiki ke hoʻoponopono i ka pōʻino i hana ʻia. Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻokuʻu iā mākou a pau.
Ke koi nei mākou i nā pilina pili ʻo Northwestern me nā mea hana ʻelima kiʻekiʻe a me nā mea waiwai kaua e pili ana, me ka ʻaʻole i kaupalena ʻia i ka Hui Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies a me Northrop Grumman.
Ua like kēia me ka divestment. Me he mea lā e hoʻohilahila ʻia nā hana me kēia mau ʻoihana. Ua like kēia me ka lawe ʻana i nā mea hoʻoponopono kaua mai kā mākou Papa Kahu.
Ke kāhea aku nei nō hoʻi mākou i ke kula e hoʻokō i nā koi a Unshackle NU e kāhea ana i ke Kulanui e haʻalele i nā mea hana hale paʻahao pilikino. Ke koi nei mākou i ka NU e hahai me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo o ka 2015 Associated Student Government hoʻoholo e haʻalele iā Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Hewlett-Packard, G4S, Caterpillar a me Elbit Systems, ka poʻe āpau i pili i ka noho aliʻi o ka ʻIseraʻela a me ka uhaki ʻana i ka hanohano Palestinian.
Ke koi pū nei mākou i ke kula e hoʻokaʻawale i nā pilina me US a me nā keʻena hoʻokō kānāwai o ka honua, e komo pū ana akā ʻaʻole i kaupalena ʻia i ka US Customs and Border Protection, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ka pūʻali koa US a me ka Israel Defense Forces. Eia kekahi, koi mākou i ke Kulanui e hoʻokō i nā koi o kahi palapala noi 2020 i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e Black undergraduate a me nā haumāna puka puka i hoʻokumu i ka NU Community Not Cops. ʻO ia mau mea akā ʻaʻole i kaupalena ʻia i ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā mākaʻi o ke Kulanui, e ʻoki ana i nā pilina āpau me Chicago Police Department a me Evanston Police Department, e hana hou ana i nā koi 1968 o ka Bursar's Takeover a me ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā kālā a me nā kumuwaiwai i nā hui e hakakā nei no ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻeleʻele e like me #NoCopAcademy. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia nā mākaʻi a me ka anti-militarism.
ʻAʻole mālama ke kaua iā mākou. ʻAʻole mālama ʻia mākou e nā pōkā a me nā mokulele hakakā. ʻO ka Militarism ʻo ia ka huhū ma luna o ka hui pū ʻana. ʻO ke ʻano o ka hana ʻino ma luna o ka hoʻoponopono. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana o nā kaiāulu ʻōiwi ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, ka mākaʻi ʻana i nā kaiāulu ʻeleʻele a me nā hana lima i Saudi Arabia a me Israel. ʻO ke ʻano o ka hoʻokipa ʻana i ke ola ma ka Honua. Hoʻokumu nā Elites i nā kaua pau ʻole no ka mana a me ka waiwai.
Aia kēlā mau elite ma ka Papa Kahu o NU. ʻO kēlā mau elites e hoʻopau i ka pōʻino a me ka pōʻino i ka honua a ma Evanston.
ʻO ko lākou ola ʻana e hōʻike ana i ka hui pū ʻana o NU i ka ʻoihana kaua.
No ka laʻana, ʻo ka ʻohana Crown, kekahi o nā ʻohana koʻikoʻi loa ma ka ʻāina ʻo Chicago, he hoʻopukapuka kālā i nā mea kaua nui, kaua a me ka luku ʻana i ka ʻIseraʻela. He mea kōkua lākou i ka piʻi ʻana o ka General Dynamics. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua lawelawe ʻo Lester Crown, he kahu mālama ola NU Board of Trustees, ma ke ʻano he pelekikena o General Dynamics. Ke ola nei ka moʻolelo koko o ka ʻohana ma ka Papa Kahu a ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Chicago.
ʻAʻole ʻo ka Papa Kahuna wale nō ke ʻano o ke Kulanui i komo ai ka militarism - ʻo ka McCormick School of Engineering kekahi pili i ka ʻoihana kaua. I ka makahiki 2005, ua hoʻokumu ʻo NU, Ford Motor Company a me Boeing i "kuikahi" e hana i ka noiʻi nanotechnology, e like me nā metala kūikawā, nā mea ʻike a me nā mea wela. Hāʻawi pinepine ʻo Boeing lāua ʻo Lockheed Martin i nā haʻawina i nā haumāna McCormick. Ua kapa ʻia ka Nicholas D. Chabraja Center for Historical Studies ma hope o ka Luna Nui o General Dynamics a me kahi lālā o ka Papa Kahu.
I ka makahiki 2020, ua hoʻokumu ka US Army i kahi papahana ʻelua makahiki me ka Northwestern Initiative for Manufacturing Science and Innovation e hoʻomohala i ka ʻenehana e hiki ai i nā kaʻa koa unmanned e hana ma nā wahie he ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o ka maʻamau.
Akā ke huli nei ke au. ʻO mākou ka hanauna kūʻē.
Ua hana mua ʻia ka divestment. E hana hou ana.
I ʻOkakopa 2005, ua kauoha ʻo NU i nā ʻoihana e hoʻolilo kālā ma ka inoa o ke Kulanui e hoʻokuʻu mai nā hui ʻehā i kākoʻo i ka pepehi kanaka Darfur ma Sudan.
Loaʻa iā mākou nā mea a pau e pono ai mākou e palekana, a ke hana nei mākou ma o kahi papa hana hoʻopau ʻeleʻele e hoʻoponopono i nā pilina me kekahi a me ka ʻāina.
E haʻalele mākou i ka make a me ka luku a hoʻokomo iā mākou.
Inā makemake ʻoe e pane ākea i kēia op-ed, e hoʻouna i kahi leka i ka Lunahooponopono i opinion@dailynorthwestern.com. ʻO nā manaʻo i hōʻike ʻia ma kēia ʻāpana ʻaʻole ia e hōʻike i nā manaʻo o nā limahana āpau o The Daily Northwestern.
