Protectors Not Protestors #defendmaunakea: Hawaiian Pride Journal / Notebook / Diary Gift - 6"x9" - 120 Pages - White Lined Paper - Matte Cover

This journal was published by Hawaii Publishing in 2019, emerging during the peak of the movement to protect Mauna Kea from the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope. It was created as a commemorative stationery item to provide a space for activists, supporters, and individuals to document their thoughts, reflections, and advocacy efforts regarding the preservation of the mountain’s cultural and spiritual significance to Native Hawaiians.

The design of the notebook focuses on the #defendmaunakea movement, serving as a functional tool for the community rather than a decorative object. By utilizing the visual identity associated with the protest, the publishers aimed to offer a tangible way for supporters to align themselves with the cause. The journal reflects the broader trend of independent publishing houses creating themed media to support contemporary social movements and indigenous rights advocacy.
