March in support of funding for home lands set for Dec. 8

A solidarity march planned for Dec. 8 will urge politicians to pave the way for Hawaiian homestead applicants to get on the land. Sponsored by the Hawaiian Home Lands Action Network and Hui Kāko'o 'Āina Ho'opulapula, the march will bring attention to the need for capital improvement funds for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands budget. Marchers will parade in front of the State Office Tower and Washington Plaee starting at 1 1 a.m. (anyone who would like to participate is asked to meet on the lawn in front of the Lili'uokalani Building, across from Queen's Medical Center on

Punchbowl Street). A flyer advertising the event calls for "action to build quality, affordable housing Hawaiian home lands NOW!". After the march concludes at 12:30, there will be musical entertainment on the grounds of 'Iolani Palaee. Currently there are more than 14,000 applicants on the Hawaiian Home Lands waiting list.
