Activists serve Navy ‘eviction notice’ on one-year anniversary of Red Hill fuel spill

TL;DR - Sunday marks one year since the Red Hill fuel leak sickened and displaced thousands of families on the Navy’s water line.

To mark the anniversary, over a dozen activists gathered Sunday morning to serve an “eviction notice” at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

Standing side by side with signs in the air, dozens sang as they walked toward the Makalapa Gate.

“The eviction notice is really to show how fed up we are with the inaction by the Navy,” said Native Hawaiian activist Bronson Adama. Before heading to the gate, the activists hopped on buses and headed to the NEX in Pearl Harbor. They passed out brochures, coupons, and ice cream to families.

Elton Garner, a retired Naval chief used to live on Red Hill.

He’s heard the health concerns from fellow Navy friends.

“This is a real issue,” said Garner. “It’s something that real people have to deal with.”
