Pehea ʻoe i komo ai me kahi hoʻopilikia anti-kaua a World BEYOND War (WBW)?
He lōʻihi wau i ka hakakā kaua. I ka hopena o 1970s, ua komo au i ka Ka Hale Kuleana he ala e hana ai no ka maluhia a me ke kaua. Ma ke ʻano he kumu, ua kōkua au i nā haumāna e hoʻomaopopo i nā mea e hana nei ma ka honua a puni lākou, e hoʻoikaika ana i ka pono o ke kamaʻilio a me ka launa pū ʻana. He lālā au o nā hui like ʻole, e like me WILPF (Women's International League for Peace and Freedom) Pittsburgh a E hooki i ka Banking the Bomb, a komo au i nā kūʻē a me nā hana kūloko. I ka makahiki 2020, ua komo pū au me World BEYOND War; ua koi ka maʻi maʻi iaʻu e ʻimi i nā ala hou e hoʻopili ai. Na WBW i hiki iaʻu ke hana i kēlā.
Pehea ka hopena o ka maʻi maʻi coronavirus i kāu hoʻoikaika?
Ua hoʻopili hou ʻo Covid iaʻu World BEYOND War. Ma 2020 ke ʻimi nei au i nā ala e hana ai me nā kumu aʻu i manaʻoʻiʻo ai a ʻike ʻia World BEYOND War papa. Ua ʻike wau e pili ana iā WBW a ua hele au i kekahi mau hanana, akā ua hoʻoikaika nui wau i ka maʻi maʻi. Ua lawe au i ʻelua papa me WBW: ʻO ke kaua a me ke kaiaulu and War Abolition 101. Mai laila mai au i hāʻawi manawaleʻa ai me ka Hoʻonaʻauao maluhia a me ka papahana hoʻokele no ka Impact i 2021. I kēia manawa, hahai au Nā hana a me nā hanana WBW a kaʻana like iā lākou me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe ma kaʻu pūnaewele Pittsburgh.
He aha nā ʻano hana WBW āu e hana ai?
Ke komo ikaika nei au i ka WBW / Rotary Action for Peace project "ʻO ka hoʻonaʻauao maluhia a me ka hana no ka hopena (PEAI).” Ua lohe au e pili ana i kēia papahana no ke kūkulu ʻana i nā mākau o ka poʻe hoʻomalu maluhia, ʻaʻole naʻe au i nānā nui mai koʻu wā ʻōpiopio. Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana me ka Luna Hoʻonaʻauao o WBW Phill Gittins, akā naʻe, wehewehe ʻo ia he papahana intergenerational kēia. Nīnau ʻo ia inā e aʻo wau i ka hui Venezuelan mai kaʻu ʻōlelo Sepania. I koʻu ʻike ʻana aia he hui Cameroonian, ua hāʻawi manawaleʻa wau e aʻo iā lākou, ʻoiai ua noho au ma ia ʻāina no kekahi mau makahiki a ʻōlelo i ka ʻōlelo Farani. No laila ma 2021 ua aʻo au i nā hui Venezuelan a me Cameroonian a lilo wau i lālā o ka hui Global Advisory.
Aia au ma ka Pūʻulu Global e kōkua ana i ka hoʻolālā ʻana, ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka ʻike, ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kekahi mau mea, a me ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā loli i manaʻo ʻia e ka loiloi o ka mea hoʻokele. Ke hoʻomaka nei ka papahana PEAI 2023, ke aʻo nei au i ka hui Haitian. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo ikaika nei au e hiki i ka PEAI ke hiki i nā ʻōpio ke lilo i mea kūkulu maluhia ma o kahi kaiāulu waena, honua.
He aha kāu ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo kiʻekiʻe no ka mea makemake e komo me ka anti-war activism a me WBW?
Hiki i nā mea a pau ke hana i kahi mea e holomua ai i ka anti-war/pro-peace activism. E nānā a puni kou kaiāulu. ʻO wai ke hana nei i ka hana? Ma nā ʻano hea e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke komo? Malia paha no ka hele ʻana i nā hōʻuluʻulu a i ʻole ma hope o nā hiʻohiʻona e hāʻawi manawa a kālā paha. World BEYOND War he koho kūpono mau. Hāʻawi ʻo WBW i ka waiwai o ka ʻike a me nā kumuwaiwai. He nani nā papa. Nui nā wahi i loaʻa WBW mokuna. Inā ʻaʻole kāu kūlanakauhale/kaona, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka i hoʻokahi, a i ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke paipai i kahi hui e kū nei e lilo i a WBW pili. ʻAʻohe mokuna WBW ʻo Pittsburgh. ʻeleu au ma WILPF (Women's International League for Peace and Freedom) Pittsburgh. Hoʻokipa mākou i kahi hanana me WBW me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kā lākou Zoom platform a hiki i ka hoʻolaha. Hōʻike mau ʻo WILPF Pgh e pili ana i nā hanana a me nā hana WBW a ua hiki iā mākou ke kaʻana like i kā mākou me lākou. Hoʻomaka ka maluhia me ka launa pū ʻana!
He aha ka mea e hōʻeuʻeu ai iā ʻoe e kākoʻo ai i ka hoʻololi?
ʻIke au i ka pono e pili ana iaʻu a puni ka honua. Pono wau e hana i kaʻu ʻāpana e hoʻolilo i ka honua i wahi maikaʻi loa no nā hanauna e hiki mai ana. I kekahi manawa, nāwaliwali au, akā e hana pū ana me nā pūnaewele e like me WBW a me WILPF, hiki iaʻu ke loaʻa ka hoʻoikaika a me ke kākoʻo e hoʻomau i ka neʻe ʻana i mua ma nā ala maikaʻi.
