Aloha Kānaka - We believe we must love and care for all people regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin.  This includes the unborn, the living, and the dead.  That we must mālama and protect the ʻohana, the basic building block of society.  Whether speaking of homelessness, health care, cost of living, housing, jobs, education, or quality of life, it's all about loving and caring for the people and doing what's in their best interest.

(2)  Mālama ʻĀina - We believe we must be pono stewards of the environment and all creatures in it.  To understand the symbiotic relationship between kānaka and ʻāina, and to understand that ʻāina has mana, spirit, and intrinsic value beyond its economic value. That some ʻāina needs special attention and protection because of its sacred nature.  That kānaka and ʻāina are inseparably connected and interdependent, one upon the other.

(3)  Government Accountability & Transparency - We believe government must be of the people, by the people, and for the people.  We believe government exists to serve the people.  As such, government has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the people, to do all things with transparency, and to be accountable to the people for its acts and non-acts. 

(4)  Ho‘oponopono the Overthrow - We believe we must make pono the Overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i in 1893.  That for the good of all the people of Hawai‘i, this wrong must be addressed and made right (ho‘oponopono).  Only then will pono (balance and righteousness) return to the people and land and both will prosper.  Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka ʻĀina I Ka Pono.
