SIGN HERE: Stop predatory land grabs in Maui!

Friend, as Hawaiians grapple with losing their homes and loved ones after devastating wildfires, they now face another threat: predatory real estate developers and scammers. [Sign the petition: Protect Lāhainā residents from predatory developers & scammers!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( In the aftermath of the fires, [real estate developers]( are cold-calling survivors, even approaching them at emergency shelters, not to offer assistance but to exploit their vulnerability and buy their fire-ravaged lands at a steep discount. The [Governor of Hawaii](, Josh Green, has rightly expressed his intention to prevent these predatory land grabs. He is exploring options for a moratorium on sales of properties damaged or destroyed by the fires. This is not just a matter of property; it's about preserving a community with a thousand years of history. Lāhainā, the original capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii, is a living testament to Hawaiian heritage, culture, and resilience. We urge Congress to act swiftly and decisively. Hawaiians have already faced numerous challenges in preserving their culture amidst the boom of tourism and industrial plantations. Now, more than ever, they need protection from those who see their tragedy as a business opportunity.
