Who’s Behind This Increasingly Vocal Hawaii Group Opposing Covid-19 Mandates? … The grassroots Aloha Freedom Coalition says it is not affiliated with any political or religious views, but only wants to stand up for liberty.
“No aloha in showing your papers.”
“Obey God, defy tyrants.”
“Vaccine passport = Communism.”
Those are some of the statements posted on the Instagram page of the Aloha Freedom Coalition, a new group that is helping to lead growing opposition to government mandates intended to control the spread of Covid-19.
Though small in number, the AFC is one of several groups — along with Knights of Aloha, For Our Rights and the Pono Coalition for Informed Consent — that use social media and public rallies to push their views and enlist support.
Their views and tactics vary but also overlap. Some of the groups or their members are attracting increased scrutiny because of protests held outside the downtown condominium of Lt. Gov. Josh Green.
