@CivilBeat@CivilBeat you owe the Maui community and Kaleo Manuel a public apology for your botched coverage following the #LahainaFires. Yesterday’s CWRM meeting involved hours of testimony calling for the return of water to Lahaina. Amplify that message. #olaikawai
Thousands of hands help restore 600-year-old Akakoko Fishpond Wall. It was an impressive sight. People of all ages, in a half-mile long line, each placing rock after rock on an ancient wall that protects the Alakoko fishpond, just outside Līhu‘e.
#BREAKING: Maui Report On 2018 Lahaina Fire Failed To Address Issues That Reappeared Five Years Later: Community criticism about a lack of emergency alerts, sirens and fire prevention didn't make it into the report. https://t.co/Y3kovFSE3t #HInews
Not only did the US Navy poison 93,000 O'ahu residents, contaminate O'ahu's sole source aquifer, and lie to residents, BUT they are now directly responsible for a 50% increase in O'ahu water rates in the next 5 years. #demilitarizeHawaii

#repost@kanaeokana “[Lahaina’s] following our kūpuna, nānā i ke kumu, looking towards the source, which is wai.
Without wai, I mean, our body’s made up of 60% of water. If that’s not a hōʻailona (sign) of what to do first, you might have missed the waʻa.” @kainamakua
💵$100m direct funding to families (large grants for cars and rent) through TANF.
🏠$94.5m for housing and meals through FEMA on top of $70m+ already spent.
💧Reinstatement of the water code.
You spoke up, and now the government is responding. ✊🏽
Many are saying these latest developments represent a fight for the soul of Hawai’i.
I am still in mourning for ohana and Lahaina. I am in mourning for all families affected by disaster capitalism and climate crisis we need justice and aloha aina
Hōkūao Pellegrino, a farmer in Waikapu, said the fire and what he sees as the resulting blame game are being used to “undo all of the work that our communities have fought so hard and advocated so hard to do.”

One of unanticipated consequences of the terrible fires in Lahaina is the way the status quo tries to turn communities against each other.
Corporate interests planted seeds is media and campaigns donations.
Kalo farmer Hokuao tells it like it is

Amazing Walk for Wai 10/20/2022
with 2,000 attendees organized by a coalition of 60 organizations. Mahalo to all the volunteers, families and most especially Ernie Lau from the Board of Water Supply @BWSHonolulu for your efforts protecting O’ahu’s aquifer. #shutdownredhillNOW
The Navy has been releasing cancer causing chemicals into Oʻahu's water supply on an average of 4.5 months at #RedHill
Last week's spill was the 4th in 18th months. You cannot come into our house & expect us to not fight back
You're causing irreversible damage to our ecosystem
Had my car broken into yesterday 12-1pm outside @WellsFargo on Castro Street (between 18th & 19th st). PSA trunks are not safe. I have lost my Hawaiian bracelets - irreplaceable family heirlooms. San Francisco car break-ins are out of control! @LondonBreed@SFCarBreakins
Can't even get video footage from @WellsFargo without a subpoena from the police who are so backlogged they said they'd get to my case in 6-12 months. @LondonBreed@SanFranciscoDSA
