ʻO ka maluhia, hui nā mea hana kaiapuni ma Wakinekona, DC

ʻO ke kū'ē kū'ē, kū'ēʻole i ke kaua - ma luna o kekahi a ma ke kaiapuni -ʻo ia ka mea e hoʻoulu a hoʻoikaika iā Bill Moyer. ʻO ka mokuʻāina ʻo Wakinekona i hala koke aku nei ma Wakinekona, DC, no ka ʻAʻohe Warena 2017: Ke Kaua a me ka Honua ʻO ka hālāwai kūkā i hōʻuluʻulu i kēia mau neʻe kaʻawale no ka hopena pule o nā hōʻikeʻike, nā haʻawina a me ka launa pū.

ʻO ka ʻaha kūkā, i mālama ʻia i ka lā 22-24 Kepakemapa ma ke Kulanui ʻAmelika a i hele ʻia e kahi 150 poʻe, ua kākoʻo ʻia e Worldbeyondwar.org, e pili ana iā ia iho "he neʻe honua e hoʻopau i nā kaua āpau."

Ma 2003, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Moyer i ka Backbone Campaign, i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Vashon Island, Wakinekona. Ma laila, alakaʻi ʻo ia i nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana ma nā ʻano aʻo ʻelima o ka hui "Theory of Change": ka hana akamai, ka hoʻonohonoho kaiāulu, ka hana moʻomeheu no ke kūʻē i ka hoʻoluhi, ka haʻi moʻolelo a me ka hana media, a me nā hoʻolālā hoʻonā no ka hoʻololi pono. ʻO ka slogan o ka hui ʻo "Resist - Protect - Create!"

"ʻO kahi ʻāpana o ka pilikia pehea e kūkulu ai i kahi neʻe ʻaʻole noʻonoʻo wale nō akā e lawelawe ana i nā pono intersecting o nā poʻe maʻamau," wahi a Moyer, ka mea i aʻo i ka ʻepekema politika a me ka ʻepekema ʻAmelika ma ke Kulanui ʻo Seattle, kahi hui Jesuit. Ua aʻo ka makuakāne o Moyer e lilo i Jesuit, a ʻo kona makuahine he nūnē mua, no laila ke kuhikuhi ʻo ia i ka "koho koho no ka poʻe ʻilihune" i ka wā e kamaʻilio ai e pili ana i kāna hana - "ʻo ia ka naʻau noʻu," wahi āna - me he mea la e olokaa ana mai kona alelo aku.

"ʻO ka haʻawina nui o kēia neʻe ʻana, ʻo ia ka mālama ʻana i nā mea a lākou e aloha ai a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea e hoʻololi ai i ko lākou ola," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, ʻo ia ke kumu i komo pinepine ʻole ai ka poʻe a hiki i ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana ma ko lākou puka.

Ma kaʻaha kūkā o No War, ua nohoʻo Moyer ma kahi papa e pili ana i ka hana hoʻolālā no ka honua a me ka maluhia meʻelua mau mea hana'ē aʻe: Nadine Bloch, he alakaʻi hoʻonaʻauao no ka hui Beautiful Trouble, e hoʻolaha ana i nā mea hana no ka hoʻokahuliʻole; a me Brian Trautman, o ka hui Veterans for Peace.

Ma kāna hōʻike ʻana, ua kamaʻilio ʻo Moyer e pili ana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i kā Sun Tzu ʻO ke Art of War - ka ʻelima mau kenekulia o ka pūʻali koa Kina - i ka neʻe ʻana o ka lehulehu ma o nā hana e like me ke kau ʻana i ka hae ma kahi hale paʻahao e heluhelu ana "ʻO wai ka mea e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Iesu" a i ʻole ke hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kahi rig drilling Arctic me kahi flotilla o kayak.

ʻO kēia hana, i kapa ʻia ʻo "kayaktivism," he ala punahele, wahi a Moyer. Ua hoʻohana ʻo ia iā ia i ka mahina ʻo Kepakemapa ma ka muliwai ʻo Potomac, kokoke i ka Pentagon.

Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Kayaktivism a me ka No War e kāhea aku i ka nānā ʻana i ka pōʻino nui i hana ʻia e ka pūʻali koa i ke kaiapuni. ʻO ka pūnaewele No War e waiho nei ma nā hua'ōlelo koʻikoʻi: hoʻohana ka pūʻali koa US i 340,000 barela o ka aila i kēlā me kēia lā, kahi e hoʻonoho ai iā 38th ma ka honua inā he ʻāina; ʻO 69 ka nui o nā wahi hoʻomaʻemaʻe Superfund e pili ana i ka pūʻali koa; Ua waiho ʻia nā ʻumi miliona o nā maina ʻāina a me nā puʻupuʻu puʻupuʻu e nā hakakā like ʻole a puni ka honua; a ʻo ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka ululāʻau, ka make ʻana o ka ea a me ka wai e ka radiation a me nā mea ʻawaʻawa ʻē aʻe, a ʻo ka luku ʻana i nā mea kanu he hopena mau ia o ke kaua a me ka hana kaua.

"Pono mākou e kau inoa i kahi kuʻikahi maluhia me ka honua," wahi a Gar Smith, he cofounder o Environmentalists Against War a me ka mea hoʻoponopono mua o ka Earth Island Journal. Ua kamaʻilio ʻo Smith ma ka ʻaha kūkā o ka ʻaha kūkā, kahi i ʻike ai ʻo ia a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i ka hoʻohenehene ʻo ka militarism (me kona hilinaʻi ʻana i nā wahie mōʻalihaku) e kōkua i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau, ʻoiai ʻo ka hakakā ʻana no ka mālama ʻana i nā wahie mōʻalihaku (a me ka luku ʻana i ke kaiapuni e hana ai) he kumu nui. o ke kaua.

ʻO ka slogan "ʻAʻohe aila no nā kaua! ʻAʻohe kaua no ka ʻaila!” ua hōʻike ʻia ma ka podium a puni ka ʻaha kūkā.

"Ke manaʻo nei ka hapa nui o nā poʻe e pili ana i ke kaua ma nā huaʻōlelo Hollywood koʻikoʻi," wahi a Smith, nāna i hoʻoponopono i ka puke ʻO ka War and Environment Reader, ua loaʻa nā kope liʻiliʻi ma waho o ke keʻena ʻaha kūkā, me nā papa ʻaina i hōʻuluʻulu ʻia me nā palapala, nā pālule, nā mea hoʻopaʻa pale, nā pihi, a me nā mea hana ʻē aʻe. "Akā i ke kaua maoli, ʻaʻohe pahu hope."

ʻO ka luku - i nā ola a me ke kaiapuni, ua ʻike ʻo Smith - he mau mau.

I ka lā hope loa o ka hālāwai kūkā, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Moyer e hoʻokumu ana ʻo ia i kahi kikowaena hoʻomaʻamaʻa mau no nā mea hoʻololi ma Vashon Island. E hana ana ʻo ia ma kekahi papahana ʻē aʻe, Solutionary Rail, he hoʻolaha e hoʻoheheʻe i nā alanui kaʻa ma ka ʻāina, e hoʻoulu i ka ikehu hou ma nā laina kaʻaahi.

Ua kapa ʻo ia i ka anti-war, pro-environment movement "he paio uhane e pono ke kaua ʻia mai kahi o ke aloha," a kanikau ʻo ia ka mea e pono ai he hoʻololi paradigm, mai kahi e kūʻai aku ai nā mea āpau - ka ea, ka wai. , "kekahi mea la'a" - i ka mea i ho'omaopopo 'ia ke 'ano o ke ko'iko'i ko'iko'i "ua hui pū mākou a pau."
