MASSIVE news in health disparities research. OMB updated federal standards to 1️⃣ race/ethnicity category adding 1) MENA & 2) Hispanic or Latino.
Big changes ahead in analyzing health data. NHPI have struggled for decades to be recognized, looking forward to seeing the rollout.
As touristy as #Lahaina had become, it was still a place where real people lived including generations of families who had deep roots in that red soil. #HInews#MauiFires https://t.co/knQ5DL9qsN
Lāhainā was once wetland.
Boats circled around Waikoloa Church.
It’s only became dry and fire-prone because of illegal water diversions and land theft by sugar barons in the 1800’s.
Today, the same families reap insane profits off continued control of our irrigation, land regulators, and politicians.
As we rebuild, we must restore the Green New Deal promise of public land and water use.
“Fire is a “scorching warning” of what’s to come if indigenous communities aren’t protected from the impacts of climate change… Our home is on fire right now. There needs to be more action and more investment” - @KanielaIng@NBCNews

Tourism is a branch of colonialism where resources that could be used to support Kānaka and locals who lost their homes and loved ones are instead being diverted to 4000 haoles who have a place to go back to. Our people don’t have this option if it wasn’t for mutual aid efforts.
To reporters covering the #MauiFire: Please stop characterizing Front Street and Lahaina Town as a “tourist spot”
It was the original Capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
King Kamehameha’s palace is here.
Kānaka Maoli still live here, on their ancestral land from the 1800s.
OPINION: "As Hawaiians, this crisis is deeply personal for us. We, as a group, are disproportionately impacted by this and the houselessness crises. We are 40% of the houseless population." ⤵️ https://t.co/aaYsFhb1C1
Excited to partner with leaders from Hawaiʻi State Department of Health, Papa Ola Lōkahi, and @ohanaexcellence for this free public workshop. Always love hearing from the NHPI community.

So, I did a #TEDtalk . Its's titled "Climate Action Should Focus on Communities, Not Just Carbon" and the gist is: carbon markets & other tech fixes are distracting us achieving tangible climate justice.

Thank you @kuamnews for featuring our story. Folks back home have electricity and water again, but there are still many others displaced from Typhoon Mawar. For many, the impact of the typhoon will reverberate for many years to come.

#Opinion: We don’t need more multimillion-dollar homes and resorts at the expense of the natural and cultural resources that make Hawaii special. @thedailydish#HInews https://t.co/a5j0boxpW3
