KAHEA is working to address the failure of government to protect Hawaiʻi communities and natural resources. Their members include Hawaiian cultural practitioners, aloha ‘āina advocates, and environmental conservationists. Mobilizing aloha ‘āina communities in ways that realize their collective strength, intelligence, and vision, the hui seeks to build networks of politically conscious folks across Hawai’i by providing cogent analyses of government and administrative processes involved in furthering extractive capitalism, settler colonialism and white supremacy. They understand that a mobilized community can act with purpose to voice concerns and formulate new, beneficial alternatives to industrial development and the desecration of Hawai’i’s sacred lands.
