Statement of support for the sovereignty of the Hawaiian nation

We, the Green Party of Hawaiʻi, publicly affirm and recognize that the Hawaiian people never ceded their national sovereignty and have been under illegal foreign occupation since the overthrow of Hawaiʻi’s last sovereign, Queen Liliʻuokalani, in 1893. Furthermore, we commit to reconciliation in compliance with the Apology Resolution of 1993 (Public Law 103-150), restoration under international law, and the laws of war.

Planning process for new community center for Lāhainā

The County of Maui Department of Parks and Recreation will be developing a new Community Center and Field House for the Lahaina community.  The new Community Center is intended to have a certified commercial kitchen, staff offices, and provide meeting spaces for community and individual ‘ohana gatherings.  The Community Center is also intended to serve as an emergency shelter for Lahaina residents.  The new Field House will have two regulation-sized basketball courts with the intention of multidisciplinary usage (i.e. allow for other types of court sports).  The Field House will also serve as a temporary community distribution center to distribute food, water, and other essential supplies during the immediate post-disaster recovery period.

The Resilience Office has released a draft of the Oʻahu Food Systems Plan and invites the public to review and provide feedback. The Oʻahu Food Systems Plan is a strategic, implementation-focused action plan that defines the City and County of Honolulu’s role in Oʻahu's food system over the next five years. It represents the first time the City is formally and comprehensively determining its role in shaping a food system that reflects the needs, values, and priorities of Oʻahu's communities.

This draft was informed by residents, subject matter experts, City agencies, and other food systems stakeholders through food summits, a public survey, an art contest, targeted outreach, and more.

We invite you to review the draft plan below and share your feedback by commenting directly on the document. Two webinars are scheduled to provide more detail. Whether you’re a farmer, business owner, educator, or simply someone who cares about our food system and access to fresh, local food, we want to hear your feedback! Share your manaʻo now through June 30, 2026.

Jordan Conley is an elected member of the ‘Aiea neighborhood board and involved in this action plan. To comment on the plan, please go to this page.
