The wildfires in Maui were unprecedented. With at least 115 lives lost, over 1,000 homes and businesses decimated, and thousands displaced, the impact is staggering. The land and its people will bear these scars for years to come.
Recovery is about rebuilding structures, healing a community's spirit, and retaining its cultural significance while ensuring that opportunists do not redefine its future.
Lāhainā is not a parcel of land up for grabs. It is the original capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Each corner of this town whispers tales of the ancestors, a proud and vibrant history of people deeply rooted in their land.
After flames rendered homes to ash, opportunistic land developers are seeking to profit from the suffering of the survivors. Predatory developers will exploit the tragedy and erase these stories, stripping the Hawaiian people of their identity, legacy, and future.
Contribute to Democracy for America Advocacy Fund and fund the fight demanding Congress protect Lāhainā residents from predatory developers & scammers now.
