Hawaii · Self-Determination
On a fair, plain ballot, half of Hawaii votes to leave the union.
Hawaii has never had an organized movement to make that vote real, and that is what we are here to change.
Hawaiiadults in Hawaii would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 50% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 223,000 (20%). How we get this number →
Hawaii, if it stood alone
largest economy on Earth
$116 billion, ahead of Oman.
people
More than the whole of Cyprus. A nation-sized population, governed from elsewhere.
seats in Congress
The other 531 are chosen by people who don't live here.
The only question that matters
Hawaii is already a nation in all but name.
If Hawaii were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
Few places carry the memory of governing themselves the way Hawaii does. It was a nation with its own crown, its own treaties, its own standing among the powers of the Pacific, before that was taken. Put a real question to Hawaii today, worded the way an actual vote would be, and about half the state, close to 557,000 adults, says leave.
That 50 percent is the honest number, not the poll you usually hear. A ballot is a different thing from a survey. It is binary and it is peaceful, and it asks people to choose rather than to muse. When the question is put that way, support runs about 30 points over the abstract poll, which lifts Hawaii to a majority. Hawaii leaned Democratic in 2020, and it still lands here, because governing yourself is not a red idea or a blue one.
What is missing in Hawaii is not the will. It is each other. We bring the playbook and the connections that the largest independence movement in the country has built. We do not run your group and we do not take your money. You decide what Hawaii's movement looks like, and you build it.
