This week on Talk World Radio we're talking about what the U.S. military does to Hawaii and what Hawaii could be without a massive military occupation. Our guest, Christine Ahn, is an Associate Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies. She is the Founder and former Executive Director of Women Cross DMZ, a global movement of women mobilizing to end the Korean War and ensure women’s leadership in peace building. In 2015, she led 30 international women peacemakers across the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) from North Korea, which was the subject of the award-winning 2023 PBS documentary, Crossings. IPS and a number of partners have released a new report called "The True Cost Of The U.S. Military In Hawaiʻi: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Economic, Environmental, Strategic, and Social Impacts of the U.S. Military Presence in Hawai'i."
