We are devastated by the #MauiFires —worsened by decades of global fossil fuel burning & local political land use decisions. Here are trusted funds you can contribute to, supporting community partners on the ground. Give what you can. Mahalo.

Starbucks fired 150 pro-union baristas and closed a dozen unionized shops. Chipotle shuttered a store in Maine when workers tried to unionize. Amazon spent $14.2 million on anti-union consultants in 2022 to stifle organizing. Common theme: they're terrified of worker power.
