The Papers
Eight papers carry the complete case for Ka Lako ʻĀina — the threat, the history, the audit, the plan, the persuasion method, the money, and the shipping repricing. They are written to be read in order, and each also stands alone. Every load-bearing number links to its primary source; estimates are labeled as estimates.
Paper 00 is the board version — the whole case and the asks. Boards print things: every page here prints clean straight from the browser.

06 · The Free Economy: How the Movement Pays for Itself
The engine is the movement’s own — membership, workshops, input sales, barter, food as currency, hoʻokupu — and the design assumes zero public money. The record that explains why, and the asks priced at zero.

08 · The Interisland Repricing: What the 2025–26 Young Brothers Rate Increases Mean for Hawaiʻi Island Food
