The American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii filed a complaint letter with the County of Maui this week sighting concerns over First Amendment rights of protesters demonstrating near the Monsanto facility along the Pi’ilani Highway in Kihei.

A week of Occupy Wall Street Maui events kick off today with the establishment of an encampment near the Monsanto offices in Kihei. Company officials respond to the planned demonstration.

Supporters on Maui of the Occupy Wall Street Protests plan to host a sign waving campaign in Kahului tomorrow afternoon.

A group of about 25 to 30 signwavers lined Ka’ahumanu Avenue in front of the Old Kahului Shopping Center on Sunday in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement, against what demonstrators called corporate greed and government cutbacks.
