EXCERPTS


Pouring rain and pulled permits didn’t stop protesters from turning out at Sunday’s “Aloha Aina March” in Haleiwa. At noon on Sunday, a mob marched 1.5 miles along the Kamehameha Highway to the Haleiwa Beach Park. Dustin Barca organized the event along with the Hawai’i GMO Justice Coalition.


An estimated 1,000 people came out to make some noise and raise awareness about genetic engineering (GE) agricultural experimentation and pesticide-laden GE seed production in Hawaii. Among the throng of concerned citizens and environmental activists joining Barca were Kelly Slater, Shane Dorian, Mark Healey, Seabass, Makua Rothman, John John Florence, Jamie O’Brien, and Bede Durbidge, along with Molokai activist Walter Ritte.
