#tmt demonstration

The walk out is an appeal to the President of the University and the Board of Regents to stop construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope atop Mauna Kea indefinitely.

Governor David Ige today announced, while in Hilo, that the Thirty Meter Telescope or “TMT” team has informed him it will postpone construction until Monday, April 20, 2015.

Students and faculty with the Hawaiian Studies Department at the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College will hold a sign waving demonstration and teach-in this afternoon in support of the protection of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi.
