In Response to Governor Ige’s Emergency Declaration

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON FACEBOOK, JULY 18, 2019

"In response to Governor Ige’s emergency declaration, I want to declare an emergency declaration for the people of Hawaiʻi - for our lāhui. Our ʻāina is in danger, our lāhui is in danger. The future of our keiki is in danger. Our culture is in danger. So we are declaring our own emergency. Kānaka of Hawaiʻi, if we want to stop this, if we want to beat this settler state system that is forcing itself upon us, we need to rise up, we need to stand together. Stand together in aloha. If we do not respond, if we do not take a stand, our mountain will be destroyed again, our waters will be gone, our culture, our people, the future for our keiki... WE are in an emergency state. And if we do not react as such, we risk losing it all. We’ve come to a point in time where we must stand. We must fight. We must answer the prayers that our kūpuna put out into the lani, into the honua, everywhere. For hundreds of years, our kūpuna have prayed for a time when our people will stand again. Where our people will come together. Where Hawaiʻi, and Maui and Molokai and Lanai and Oʻahu and Kauaʻi and even Niʻihau, and maybe even Kahoolawe too. Bring them all together and we will beat this. We will stop this desecration. We will once again take our place as the people of this land and take control of our future. So the time is now, there's no better time to resist, to stand up, to kūʻē, to kūpaʻa, letʻs do it now!"
