Kupu‘āina organizers, Jocelyn M Doane, Derek Kauanoe, and Davis Kahōkū Price spoke with members of the legislative Hawaiian caucus today about the ceded lands moratorium. Derek spoke about Mark Bennett's comments from the previous caucus discussion about the potential for lawsuits to arise as a result from moratorium legislation. Davis Price spoke about the state's public policy towards the ceded lands and Native Hawaiians, and Jocelyn M Doane spoke about the effects and benefits of moratorium bills.
We mailed out another 42 postcards today. No, we're not quite running out yet, but we will be. Since tomorrow is Friday and the start of the weekend, I'm thinking it's probably better for legislators to receive mail earlier in the week instead of right before the weekend starts. It's easy to forget about mail over the weekend, but harder earlier in the week.
Mahalo nui to Benton Keali'i Pang who donated a roll of 100 stamps. We'll be using these stamps for the postcards we're sending to legislators. Mahalo nui.
For anyone else interested in contributing, below are the prices for postcard stamps:
- 10 postcard stamps = $ 2.70
- 50 postcard stamps = $13.50
- 100 postcard stamps = $27.00
E-mail us at kupuaina@gmail.com and we'll be sure to let you know where to send the postage stamps.
Keith Kamisugi, Director of Communications, for the Equal Justice Society has informed us that, earlier today, the Equal Justice Society and the Japanese American Citizens League (two civil rights organizations) filed a friend-of-the-court (amicus) brief today at the Supreme Court in support of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
