Coalition’s letter to the federal and Hawaiʻi state governments charges United States’ militarism with the perpetuation of violence and oppression across the Pacific.

Pōhakuloa, like other important places across the Asia-Pacific region, is home to a military base with live fire training.

As Koa Ridge breaks ground on some of the Hawaiʻi's most fertile land, the Sierra Club recommits to shifting the state's policy toward local food production.

The land board’s acquiescence to corporate control of Hawaiʻi's resources represents the state’s continuing failure to uphold its fiduciary duties.

The protest is being organized by Bernie Sanders delegates who first met at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last month.

“We the undersigned firmly oppose the continued destruction of Hawaiʻi and all First Nations lands at the hands of governments, corporations and militaries which prioritize money over the health and well-being of people and the environment.”

“People Over Profits” unites broad progressive coalition; hundreds converge on Hawaiʻi’s State Capitol.

Some Native Hawaiian community members dispute Naʻi Aupuni’s authority and consider the process it is undertaking—an ʻaha, or constitutional convention—to be illegitimate.

There is abundant evidence that the military has not complied with the terms of its lease, but state officials want to extend the lease beyond its 2029 expiration date.

The demonstration emphasized the connection between—and convergence of—the issues of social justice, labor, indigenous rights, environmental stewardship and human rights.

In a statement released today, Governor David Ige accuses the Mauna Kea protectors of vandalism and violating corporate rights to access the summit.

If progressives can push all the democratic presidential candidates to oppose the TPP, including Hillary Clinton, it could go a long way in flipping more Congressional democrats from yes to no.

The newly-formed coalition includes groups from the labor rights, environmental protection, Native Hawaiian sovereignty, food justice, and social justice movements.

If the State of Hawaiʻi has no legal authority to lease public land to the university, the proposed sublease for the TMT would also be illegitimate.

NASA environmental findings mean that neither TMT nor any other development on Mauna Kea can be approved without being in violation of the Mauna Kea Conservation District rules and regulations.

The congresswoman's introduction of a bill that would expand the Pōhakuloa Training Area ignores Native Hawaiian and environmental concerns in pursuit of defense industry dollars.

A bill that would have given the state broader authority to preempt county ordinances it finds inconvenient, such as those restricting biotech, failed to find enough support to pass through the senate agriculture committee.

The “People Not Profits” rally brought together diverse issues, united by the message that government should serve the people, not corporations and developers.
