To The People of Okinawa Japan and the Inter-Island Solidarity Peace Camp:
We, the undersigned faith-based, peace activists, environmentalists, and other civil society members and organizations, offer our solidarity as you celebrate the 2015 Inter-Island Solidarity Peace Camp in Okinawa, Japan, September 19-22. We join you in calling for the protection of Okinawa, the surrounding islands, and the entire Asia=Pacific region from expanded militarization which threatens all of Creation.
We believe your on-going public witness is a sign of hope that another world is possible in which people of goodwill and faith from all cultures and religions can join together in a shared vision for peace. We celebrate your courage and creativity in expressing your voices for peace and for the wholeness of life.
We join you in calling for global peace and a world free of violence in all its forms, especially the militarization of the Asia Pacific. History tells us that military bases threaten ecosystems, cultural heritage, and the livelihoods of the local community, with women and children being particularly vulnerable. Military bases, missiles, missile defense systems once again place islands such as Okinawa, Jeju Island and Taiwan directly in the crosshairs of war between larger more powerful nations.
We are inspired by your witness and stand with you in joy and hope that peace and the integrity of all Creation is possible.

this is not an Okinawan issue or a Jeju issue...these are international problems that demand our collective humanity to end
celebrating your courage and creativity we all need a shared and powerful vision for peace and reject militarisation
Keep fighting the good fight in Okinawa. We see what is happening to the islands and it breaks my heart. Peace now.
NO MORE BASES. The people deserve their land back without all this military hardware cluttering up our home. Power to the peace campers!
The Missionary Society of St Columban sends its solidarity to all participating in the Inter Island Solidarity Peace Camp
I live on an island, too. Thank you for your efforts for peace!
