Not My Independence Day (Ka ʻAhahui Aloha ʻĀina, Hui Aloha ʻĀina o Koʻolaupoko)

Kū kiaʻi Koʻolaupoko! Join your fellow makaʻāinana—workers, farmers, youth, and elders alike—to kūʻē against the devastating impacts of Americanization on our beloved Windward ʻāina and ʻohana! From the real estate industry’s destruction of our fishponds from Kaʻelepulu to Kāneʻohe Bay (to build houses that we cannot even afford!), to the American military’s desecration of ʻāina from Waimānalo to Waikāne, America has had 132 years to show us what it has to offer! Pau already! Join us, not just to make your voice and righteous anger known for one day, but to also build community. Not community defined by fake peace and unity that paves over our struggles like concrete and can be bought by any rich foreigner who chooses to move here, but community defined by a collective life-long commitment to the values and practices that have defeated the most powerful military on Earth and stopped the power of profits dead in its tracks. If you’re planning on going, we cannot wait to see you there! And if you cannot make it this time, no worries. This is one of many steps towards the restoration of our ea and kūʻokoʻa, and we’ll be ready to welcome you every step of the way ✊🏽 If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at haakoolaupoko@gmail.com
