BIG! A bill passed in Hawaii to effectively convert 10,000's of illegal Airbnb's to local housing. Incredible work from @OurHawaii808 and Lahaina Strong. The winning strategy was uniting fire survivors, advocates, and unions – then going all out.
Green, advocates unite to support short-term rental bill as end of legislative session nears

Stop coming to Hawai’i. They are treating us like second class citizens, literally cutting off our water to feed over-tourism.

Don’t come to Maui. Cancel your planned vacations. Survivors need the hotel rooms. Give our community time to grieve and heal.

On Friday, Elicia Stratton searched desperately through the wreckage of her Lahaina home for the Rolex watch her parents gave her when she graduated college. Suddenly, her fiancé pulled it from the ashes. “You found it!” she said, choking up. It was damaged but still legible.

A heavily armed police force arrested 33 Native Hawaiian elders who were peacefully protecting our most sacred mountain from desecration. Our kūpuna are literally laying down their bodies for our environment and culture—and they must not shoulder this burden alone. #WeAreMaunaKea
