Opposition to US base growth is led by young local activists.

Evidence

Given such high levels of support for the military on Guam, many were surprised when growing numbers of people started expressing concerns about the buildup. Along with established activists, some of the most prominent voices of opposition came from young people, mostly in their twenties. They formed a group called We Are Guåhan, after the Chamorro name for the island, to monitor the buildup. As the group and others scrutinized the plan, their work seemed to reveal just how much the military takes for granted the kind of nearly unchecked power it has enjoyed on the island since Guam became a U.S. colony in 1898. — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 247
