BRING YOUR ALOHA ON NOVEMBER 7 We know that those committed to this movement are driven by love and aloha. We also know that it is a common tactic of companies and their representatives resisting social change to distract our attention from our goals of protecting what we love. This is often done by planting disruptors and using fear-based divide and conquer messages that create false walls between our islands communities. So, just in case, we declare once again and reaffirm our commitment to action guided by aloha, and ask all Bill 2491 supporters to do the same. We know you will. We will win together, as an island united, and for ALL of our islands children and the future of the aina.
