Jason Momoa Warns About the Terrible Maui Wildfires
Through social networks, the Aquaman star asked people not to travel to Maui, as they are now in a moment of deep suffering and need to recover, mourn, and then restore.
“Right now your presence is not needed on an island that is suffering so deeply. If you are planning to travel to Maui soon, please cancel your trip. Our community needs time to recover, grieve and restore. To do this, we need fewer visitors to come to the island so that the scarce resources we have go to the people who really need them,” said the actor.
The actor also explained in detail the reasons why visitors are hindering Hawaii’s work in the face of its fires and hope that they will raise awareness due to the terrible event they are going through.
“Some tourists are being really disrespectful. They’re sneaking into lines to get free food, and they’re taking up rooms that would be needed to help the displaced. Some people have lost loved ones sleeping at home in tents, and tourists complaining that this is ruining their vacation,” he shared.
Finally, the actor shared several solidarity initiatives, such as donation campaigns for funds to help the victims of the devastating fires. “We are working with community members to provide immediate funding to families who lost their homes in the wildfires,” said the actor.
