Background: The Pentagon was planning to build a 2 billion-dollar radar system on sacred Hawaiian ground for a Missile Defense System called the Homeland Defense Radar-Hawaii, (HDR-H) in 2020 but due to Native Hawaiian protest the project was stalled. The Pentagon did not fund the HDR-H in their version of 2021 defense budget, the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, but due to lobbying efforts of Senators representing Hawaii, Mazie Hirono and Brian Schatz, the HDR-H was put back into the Senate’s version of budget. The HDR-H is intended to use to track nuclear missiles in a Ground Based Missile Defense system that has never been proven to work but makes Hawaii a target from adversaries. The HDR-H, along with other missile weapon systems deployed in Hawaii are apart of Pentagon plans to ramp up military presence in Pacific to confront China. Action: We, the undersigned, demand the Senate and Congress cancel and defund the HDR-H in the 2021 NDAA and pursue diplomatic strategies for resolving conflict in the Pacific.
