Hey folks,

Many of you may know about the climate protests happening around the globe this Friday. I just wanted to shout out all my fellow students and activists joining the strike, and to raise awareness for one specific issue that's very near to my heart.

One of the main volcanoes, Mauna Kea, is the most sacred mountain in Hawaiian culture. It is also home to thirteen enormous telescopes. Right now, there's another plan in the works to add yet another, thirty-meter telescope to the mountain. Doing so will destroy a sacred land site as well as unique and rapidly diminishing habitat.

Please, support the Mauna Kea protestors. This isn't just a native rights issue. It's all part of a bigger, global issue - one that must be resolved for the sake of all who live on Earth.
