Aloha 'Aina, Imua Kakou!
Today, Thursday November 13th, the Hawaii County Council
successfully overrode Mayor Harry Kim's veto of bill# 361.
Bill# 361, introduced by Council Member Angel Pilago, will now become an ordinance,
protecting the Big Island's Taro or Coffee from Genetic Engineering.
This victory was won through the overwhelming strength of people power.
We won because of you, and your willingness to show up and be counted.
Mahalo, to the 100+ individuals who showed up at the county council offices today.
Mahalo, to the thousands of you who have given testimony to the county council in support of bill# 361.
Mahalo, to the community organizers and activist who helped us keep the pressure on our Co. Council Members.
Mahalo, to the Hawaiian Kapuna, with whom we have been honored to work.
Mahalo to all of you! You made this victory possible!
The fight for safe sustainable food is not over, but today we can celebrate.
Please call and thank the Seven County Council members who voted to override Mayor Kim's Veto.
They need our support as well.
