Take Action! Tell your City Council Member to "Remove the Purple Spot"
Click here to send an email directly to the City Council right now.
The Wai`anae Sustainable Community Plan is before the City Council for second reading. It currently includes a 100-acre purple spot on the land that once supported the productive `Ainalani Farm in Lualualei and that the community has designated for farming not development. The purple spot is a developer-driven attempt to erode the agricultural heritage of the Wai`anae Coast. We know that urban sprawl like this industrial park is the slow death knell of farming communities. Each City Council member needs to hear from *their* constituents that we support keeping Wai`anae country.

Honolulu City Council Hearing
November 2, 2011
Kapolei Hale
1000 Ulu`O`hia Street
The Council enforces a 3-minute limit on testimony. This means we need lots of people to patch together a coherent message about why we support protecting Wai`anae's agricultural heritage. And your presence in the audience is as valuable as your speech. Please show up and wear green!
Here is a map to Kapolei City Hall. (Link to g-maps)
For parking, there is paid lot outside the main building, as well as limited free street parking, but parking up the street (near K-mart) may be your cheapest and best bet.
To carpool, email me at shelley@kahea.org or call me at 393-4745 if you are interested in carpooling (as a driver or a rider) either from Wai`anae or shuttle from Kmart.
Aloha Aina,
Marti.
