It's time for more than those directly affected by this stand up to speak. It's time that officers make other officers accountable . . . Death is final . . . It is not something you come back from . . . #NoBLUEWall #nojusticenopeace #ItsTime #WaitingforWhiteVoices #AndStillWeRise #GeorgeFloyd https://www.instagram.com/p/CAt6FkAHOq1/?igshid=5w6icml600c4

I stand in solidarity with Mauna Kea Kia’i. 私はマウナケアのプロテクターと連帯しています。 Me solidarizo con los protectores de Mauna Kea. Sou solidário com os protetores do Mauna Kea. As Shimanchu, the indigenous peoples of the Ryukyu Islands (Amami, Okinawa, Miyako, and Yaeyama), we stand in solidarity with the protectors of Mauna Kea and all who seek to defend their rights as first people in their native land.

Mauna Kea:  Lā 168, Oura Bay: Day 2000

Today - December 27, 2019 - is Lā 168 for the Mauna Kea Kia'i here in Hawai'i & the 2000th day of continuous sit-ins for protectors of Henoko's Oura Bay, back in the Ryukyu islands (what is known today as “Okinawa”) - my place of birth and maternal ancestral homeland. 

To pause and reflect on what this means and the parallels of the histories of these islands and our resilience in the face of both physical and cultural genocide is something I find to be bittersweet... 

Together, we rise!

I created this image as I reflected upon the continuous work being done and sacrifices being made by brave and fiercely loving Kia'i / protectors - day in and out - embracing their ancestral sukubun / kuleana to protect our precious land, water, and all life. It breaks my heart that we must do so; in fact, this was quickly pulled together earlier this week when Kia'i at Mauna Kea were bracing under threat of impending arrests, before the current moratorium was negotiated. And yet, despite the twinge of sorrow in why we must fight for our indigenous rights, for our right to self-determination, and for the protection of our lands and waters, there is so much beauty to see how we still rise and rise! 

This image is a small offering but made with immense gratitude to honor the beautiful way in which Mauna Kea is bringing together kanaka as a nation while simultaneously building transpacific solidarity and ultimately inspiring and uniting people all over the world as we (re)dedicate ourselves to protect all our precious land and water. It has been truly humbling and transformative to stand together with the Lāhui here in O’ahu as well as up on the Mauna and to find ways each day, however small they may be, to support this indigenous led movement. By sharing this image, I am inviting you to do the same. As Norman shinshii so beautifully said, "Although we stand on separate shores, distant valleys, or even separate mountain tops, we are emboldened and ultimately liberated in knowing that we stand together."

Aloha from Amami • Miyako • Okinawa • Yaeyama

The hands you see here are based on a photograph of my own hands with  traditional Ryukyu hajichi, specifically from where my maternal grandfather’s family is from in Shuri, the royal capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The main text in this image is from the solidarity statement Norman Kaneshiro shinshii wrote on behalf of Shimanchu (people of #Okinawan/#Ryukyuan descent) to the Mauna Kea Kia'i.

Repost from @jonnypucci • It’s been nearly two years since I first painted memorials to Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery on the boarded up Pekin House. At that time protests were breaking out all over the country (and the world) demanding accountability, justice, and acknowledgment that black lives do matter. It was an emotional time for me as it was for so many, and I was honored and humbled then as I am now by the outpouring of love and support from my community here in North Park, San Diego. This restoration was made possible with support from @unityrunners @runforbreonna @urbantrailrunnerssd @sdblgbtcoalition @rideforbreonna @northparkmainstreet and many others who got the word out and raised money to help me purchase materials. Also big thanks to @milanorthpark @sageceramics @amethystjesus and anyone who came by, talked with me, brought me coffee or said a kind word.

Hi everyone you may or may not know on Monday night @thecollectiveatindigostyle was vandalized. It’s still so unbelievable to me given how Sunday Sheryl, myself and all our guest PopUp vendors and shoppers shared such a beautiful experience. So to wake up yesterday morning with the call that we were vandalized was incredible to say the least. Thank you so much for all the checkins, calls, text and support in the midst of us processing all of this craziness. I meant to post this last night when I got home from work and fell out from the extra long and taxing day...Waking up this morning to your love and support is so very encouraging and helpful after the day @indigostylevintage and myself experienced, thank you! If you’d like to make a donation towards loss, damages, repairs, more cameras and security upgrades etc. you may do so via CashApp at $AshakaGivens $IndigoStyle408 Thank you again! #andstillwerise #AshakaGivens #IndigoStyleVintage #TheCollectiveAtIndigoStyle (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wBl3RJ93o/?igshid=1t3osv3kuhz42
