By now you’ve heard what’s happening in O’ahu. The Navy’s fuel storage at Kapūkakī (Red Hill), is leaking, and contaminating the aquifer that provides water to thousands of people. But you might not know what you can do to help, so here’s a thread. 🧵

First, you can go support @oahuwaterprotectors, @SDRHMutualAid, @Kiai_Report, and @aina_momona. Follow the lead of these indigenous organizers fighting to protect the water. /2

And these amazing folks on the ground fighting the Navy’s poisoning of the water supply on O’ahu have put together key toolkits anyone can use to agitate and education and fight alongside them to #ShutDownRedHill /3

You can start with some important history of how other communities have fought for our environment and struggled to protect Mother Nature, from protest to organizing to changing laws. /4

Then there’s an important resource with some of the basics of advocating for change, pressuring politicians, and spreading awareness about what’s happening in Red Hill. /5

Here the link to get going: waihona.net/#/resources/D9…

And here’s logos, zoom backgrounds, and graphics you can use and spread to help raise awareness anywhere, at all times, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing. /6

Now it’s time to go deeper. Here’s a resource that contains 4 pillars that can deepen our organizing. The pillars are: Participate beyond voting, Understand power, Invest in relationships, Value the collective. /7

That resource in the last tweet is about organizing for power, not just relying on politicians to change their minds. It’s about organizing with tools we can use with our own communities, in addition to supporting O’ahu water protectors. Be sure to check it out. /8

And then there’s so much more. Check out the full range of toolkits for yourself and get involved! O’ahu can’t afford to have you on the sidelines. The water and the Earth can’t afford to have you on the sidelines. /9
