We will stand for Mauna Kea

The Issue

On Tuesday, October 30th, 2018 the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court ruled 4-1 in favor of the Thirty-Meter-Telescope to be built on Mauna Kea. After years of resistance, we must continue our fight and protect our wahi pana. 

We must protect this sacred place with all our heart, soul, and mind. Together we stand to protect Mauna Kea. We hope to preserve the history, culture and the sacred birthplace of the Hawaiian people. #AlohaʻĀina #MālamaʻĀina #KūKiaʻiMauna #WeAreMaunaKea #ProtectMaunaKea #AʻoleTMT #NoTMT

"In short, to build on Mauna Kea is to cast a sickness throughout these islands, a sickness and sadness, not only on Native Hawaiians but on all people who live here." -Williamson B.C. Chang
