Movement for Aloha no ka ʻĀina (MANA) is a movement-building organization, established to achieve independence and social justice through direct action, political education, economic development, international diplomacy, and public advocacy, with a cultural and spiritual foundation.

MANA follows in the history of Aloha ‘Āina in Hawaiʻi, and in the tradition of peoples throughout the world who struggle for liberation, freedom, and justice. MANA values kūʻē (resistance); kūkulu (creating alternatives); people power; collectivity; community; honesty and integrity; and fundamental human dignity. MANA believes that an Aloha ʻĀina must be “guided by great feelings of love.”

MANA's Platform of Unity focuses on independence, land, demilitarization, health, culture, popular education, movement building, economic independence, food sovereignty, diversity & inclusion, ho'omana, and gender and sexualities.
