KLH acknowledges the threat foreign military occupation poses on the health and safety of Kanaka Maoli women, children, and mahū which parallels the violent foreign militarized occupation of Palestine. KLH is actively working to build a community safety network and fostering connections between two sites of militarization and occupation: Hawai'i and Palestine.

“Decolonial feminism, on the one hand, rejects, interrupts and forcefully opposes these colonial politics of death. And at the same time, it uplifts alternative visions that affirm our lives and the potential futures of our people on our homeland.”
Transformative Justice Training for Organizing spaces
Transformative Justice (TJ) and Community Accountability (CA) are approaches to harm designed by Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, Hawaiian, Disabled Women and Sex Workers of Color who offer a trauma-informed, survivor-centered, abolitionist paradigm that strives to change the underlying conditions which enable and perpetuate cycles of violence and abuse in ways that do not rely on the settler state, the police, or the prison-industrial complex.
