from @af3irmhawaii - “We at AF3IRM also recognize that the underlying Euro-American male ideas about land and women behind the TMT have become dominant in society, and are now interlacing with all of our cultures. This has led to pervasive sexual and gendered violence against women in Hawai‘i, particularly Native women. Colonizers brought concepts here that became what we now know as rape culture. Women were valuable for sex. Land was valuable for sale. We reject this bankrupt mentality. This is not need, this is greed.” [Read our full statement at the link in our bio] RP @taykealoha - ‘a’ole minamina i ka pu’u kālā ua lawa mākou i ka pōhaku drew this last night as an outlet for the ‘eha that was building up in me my heart hurts for the mauna but seeing the world come together for our lāhui and seeing our lāhui stand for our 'āina makes me so happy and hopeful stay pa'a my kanaka ✊🏽❤️ #untilthelastalohaaina #nokalāhui #KūKiaʻiMauna #protectmaunakea #tmtshutdown #AoleTMT https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RYb0XHLG6/?igshid=mi6ewkoq2u24
