'Defend Oahu' organizes Labor Day rally

With concerns by North Shore residents and increasing concerns in mind by Oahu residents at large, Defend Oahu Coalition has organized a Labor Day rally to voice against the proposed Turtle Bay Resort expansion. Caravans will start at 9:30 am from Temple Valley (Ahuimanu) and Haleiwa Surf Center (Haleiwa). The two caravans will converge and meet at the entrance to the Turtle Bay Resort. The rally will run from 10:00 am - 12 noon.

The rally is the result of the proposed Turtle Bay Resort expansion. Expansion plans call for an additional 3,500 hotel/condo units on the surrounding property.

Rally organizers are stressing safety for the participants as well as pedestrians and other motor vehicles on the journey.
