Hawaiʻi is central to the Trump administration’s planned military buildup against China.
That buildup is now unfolding alongside a proposed $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget — even as costs of living rise and safety net programs face deep cuts.
The collision of those pressures is bringing new scrutiny to what the military presence in Hawaiʻi actually costs, and who bears that burden — a topic explored in unprecedented depth in a NEW report out this week.
On Monday, June 1, join several authors of the report at Busboys and Poets 450 K in Washington, D.C. for traditional Hawaiian delicacies and groundbreaking discussion.
