Lāhaina Strong is committed to fighting the entrenched systems of corruption that have long plagued Hawaiʻi. They stand for transparency, accountability, and truth, with a mission to dismantle the ʻgood ʻol boyʻ network that prioritizes profits and power over the wellbeing of Hawaiʻiʻs people and land. Lāhaina Strongʻs “Fishing for Housing” protect at Kaʻanapali Beach was a bold stand for housing justice, drawing attention to the urgent need for affordable and permanent housing solutions for impacted Maui ʻohana.
Lāhaina Strong’s advocacy during the crucial conference committee week of the Hawai’i State Legislative Session of 2024 ensured the participation in legislative discussions, amplifying the voices of impacted residents regarding housing solutions and disaster recovery. Designed to strengthen representation for Lāhaina’s needs and foster legislative accountability, their advocacy ultimately contributed to the successful passage of historic housing legislation (SB2919), signed into law as Act 15.
