Repost from social media from Pua Case: 

On June 24, 2015 over 700 Native Hawaiians, members of the local communities and their supporters stood to prevent construction vehicles from reaching the Northern Plateau of Mauna Kea. 

Their collective commitment to stop the building of an 18 story Thirty Meter Telescope from being built on the mountain as it would be the one too many, the one too big. They came to be known as kiaʻi or protectors of Mauna Kea. They are not anti-science. They stand to protect the mountain from further desecration and destruction. 

This Change.org petition was created to support the protectors. This is not just about one mountain in Hawai’i. This is a global movement and the world is watching.
