Hawaiʻi Alliance for Progressive Action
We have four interconnected program areas that serve as a comprehensive plan toward accomplishing our mission: catalyze community empowerment and systemic change towards valuing ‘āina (that which sustains us) and people ahead of corporate profits.
Fair & Sustainable
Food Systems
Community-Based
Resource Stewardship
Reclaiming Democracy
Social & Economic
Justice
The Hawaiʻi Alliance for Progressive Action (HAPA) is deeply committed to championing social, economic, and environmental justice throughout Hawaiʻi. Recognizing the interconnected nature of food systems, we underscore that the challenges plaguing these systems are not isolated from broader social, economic, and environmental concerns. We believe in an integrated approach that addresses these interdependencies to create a just, equitable, and sustainable future for Hawai'i.
