building on traditions of involvement + activism in hawai'i
Living the Legacy?
In the wake of John Kelly's passing, we were reminded once again of the strong roots of activism in Hawai'i and the call to act individually to carry on in this tradition of involvement and action. Every action we take for a better Hawai'i becomes a part of this legacy of activism--both its incredible history and its hopeful future.
The legacy today belongs to all of us.
Join with other individuals and organizations islands-wide who are today getting involved, taking action, and making change!
John Kelly (1919 - 2007). Surfer, waterman, and activist--John helped found a environmental, social, political, and cultural movement that contributed to the contemporary Hawaiian Sovereignty movement and saved 140 surf sites on O’ahu. John passed away on October 3, 2007.
This movement continues today. People around Hawai'i continue to join together--to take action and make a difference!
Living the legacy means
getting involved!
Join, take action with, and contribute to organizations in Hawai'i working today towards environmental protection, cultural rights, peace, and social justice.
