Topic: Unity Maui

Steve Slepcovic highlights the leadership of legendary waterman Archie Kalepa in organizing the Native Hawaiian community. A massive unity event is planned for January 20th, where 40,000 people are expected to form a human chain around the fire line. The guests describe the deep mistrust of FEMA workers who entered Hawaiian communities unannounced and geared up like law enforcement.

The guests express concern over where the toxic debris from phase one of the cleanup will be dumped, fearing it will leach into the ocean or groundwater. They reiterate the call for the January 20th "Unity Maui" event to protest the "black tarps" and government secrecy. Slepcovic urges Americans to support the Hawaiian people in their effort to rebuild what they had before.
