Maui Emergency Relief Resources
The Redford Center extends its utmost support and solidarity to the Native Hawaiians, families, and community members impacted by the devastating wildfires in Maui — now recorded as the deadliest wildfire in US history in over a century. Our hearts and thoughts are with all those in our community that are affected.
We are grateful to the leaders that are illuminating the important connections between climate change and the history of extraction of the land’s limited natural resources, and we encourage you to join us in learning more about this and taking action by supporting this list of grassroots efforts and organizations ensuring that direct relief funds and resources reach those on the ground that need it most.
