I want to offer two resources for folks to take a little deeper dive into the issue of fed rec. To say it doesn't matter because #nojurisdiction, or to only oppose it based on that, is intellectually and politically lazy, even if we hold no jurisdiction as a truth. 🧵
And yet, "no jurisdiction get outta my face" was the primary oppositional message in the 2014 DOI hearings. I loved it. But folks who came into movement then or by way of one of the Mauna standoffs or something else may not have been exposed to the opposition prior to 2014.
Pre-2014 opposition to fed rec in Hawai'i was largely through the formation of Hui PÅ«, and their opposition was grounded in study of the political climate in Hawai'i and the US, and of the Akaka Bill itself.
