Hawaiʻi Alliance for Progressive Action (HAPA) catalyzes community empowerment and systemic change towards valuing people and ‘āina ahead of corporate profits.
They build grassroots leadership and community power to shift political will and reclaim governance over Hawaiʻi’s food systems and natural resources. Through initiatives like Kuleana Academy, they develop a growing bench of community-accountable leaders—reshaping agricultural and environmental policy in Hawaiʻi and empowering local voices to challenge systems and co-create liberatory governance, ultimately centering community wisdom and building the capacity of future generations to steward our ‘āina with integrity, accountability, and aloha.
