You are invited to gather tomorrow at the Kamehameha statue in front of the Hawaii Supreme Court to remember Renee Good, who was mercilessly assassinated by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota yesterday. Hoping many of you can join in solidarity for this senseless killing that is reflective of the current administration‘s absolute distain for human dignity, human rights and civil rights. These are not normal times. We all need to stand up. 5 PM, tomorrow, Kamehameha statue. Kindly bring a candle if you can.
Peace and blessings,

“ “I could not turn back the time for the political change, but there is still time to save our heritage. You must remember never to cease to act because you fear you fail. The way to lose any earthly kingdom is to be inflexible, intolerant, and prejudicial. Another way is to be too flexible, tolerant of too many wrongs and without judgement at all. It is a razors edge. It is the width of a blade of pili grass. To gain the kingdom of heaven is to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen, and to know the unknowable - that is Aloha. All things in this world are two; in heaven there is but One”
Queen Lili’uokalani, 1917
