Lt. Watada's pre-trail hearing is scheduled for January 4, 2007. A public support rally will be held at the gates of Fort Lewis, Washington that morning from 8-11am. Another rally will be held during his court martial, which begins on Feb. 5, 2007.

Lt. Watada's parents have been crossing the country, speaking in support of their son. Supporters have rallied outside the gates of Fort Lewis and across the continent. Recent community events to raise awareness and support for Lt. Watada's case have brought out standing room only crowds and gained more support for the lieutenant's stand against the war and occupation of Iraq.
