There comes a time when aloha for our lahui demands courageous change out of kuleana to our kupuna, our keiki and generations to come.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs was created to improve the condition and lives of Native Hawaiians. We Native Hawaiians deserve more than promises. We deserve results, transparency, accountability and leadership that treats our present and future as OHA’s highest priority. We cannot afford complacency while Hawaiian families struggle to survive and our cultural heritage is threatened.
It is time to turn the page on incumbents and open the door to new leadership. Vote in challengers to the OHA board of trustees. They bring a breath of fresh air, renewed urgency and commitment to serving the lahui.
Our kupuna entrusted us with a sacred kuleana. Let us honor it for our people, aina and keiki. Vote for change.
