BEST ENVIRONMENTAL NON-PROFIT ON MAUI
Shaka Movement
It’s hard to argue against this one. In the span of just a year or two, this grassroots organization grew to do something no one had ever succeeded in doing before in Maui history: gather enough signatures of registered voters to put an initiative on an election ballot. There is no question they organized huge numbers of people, which in the 2014 election were enough to beat back Monsanto’s millions of dollars in spending. Though voters on the GMO measure largely shunned other races on the ballot, it’s undeniable that they at least voted on something because of Shaka. @Apignataro
