Hafa Adai and welcome to Chamorro.com.

This website is dedicated to the protection of the land and the people of the Mariana Islands.

At this point in our history, the people of the Mariana islands face the greatest threat since World War II - the unnecessary taking of our lands and waters by the United States military for use as bombing ranges. The is more than an expansion of the military presence in the Marianas. The military's plan, that has been unfolding over recent years, is so huge and overwhelming that the late CNMI Governor Inos characterized it as an "extistential threat" to the people of the Marianas. Until this threat is resolved, Chamorro.com will be dedicated to sharing information on this critical issue.

If you're new to the issue, please see the short Introductory Slideshow.

If you want to learn more, there is a wealth of information on the News, Comments, Gallery and Documents pages.

We Need Your Help!

We are a tiny island community trying to defend our home against an adversary that has almost unlimited funds and full-time paid professionals with decades of experience. We are unfunded, work in our spare time, and are learning how to fight back as we go. If you can, please make a contribution of any amount to the Alternative Zero Coalition (AZC) via PayPal. 100% of your contribution will be used by AZC member groups to oppose the militarization of our islands with 0% administrative overhead. We desperately need funds for the simple things, like bumper stickers and banners for public events. Thank you!

Si Yu'us Ma'ase,
