Best Political Activist
[TIE] Courtney Bruch/Irene Bowie
Our readers were split on this category. Last year, Irene Bowie won, but this year she has to share the title with up-and-comer Courtney Bruch. Both are dedicated to bettering life for everyone on Maui, though both are focused on different issues and use different methods. Bowie, the president of the slow growth group Maui Tomorrow, sifts through planning documents and files lawsuits to make sure land developers don’t pave over too much of the island. Bruch prefers sit-ins and public rallies as she works with GMO Free Maui and Occupy Monsanto to make sure the food we grow, buy and consume is both safe to eat and produced in a just manner. @apignataro
