HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - "Organizers of an Aloha Unity march were expecting 10,000 people to make their way through Waikiki Saturday. Judging from the scene on Kalakaua Avenue, they may have easily met or surpassed that mark. The event is aimed at expressing opposition to the Thirty Meter Telescope project, but also show unity for Aloha Aina movements.
“This is like family, ohana,” said Cynde Fernandes, one of the marchers. “They’re all talking. They’re singing. They’re giving a message, and this is it.” Link to TV News story

Yes.
I marched.
Hawaii's Kings & One Queen.
Hands make the Mountain, Maunakea,
sacred space shared by gods and humans,
being protected, as the
Hawaiian people blossom in this day.
The Kingdom of Hawaii is not forgotten.
As indigenous people over the globe
reassert their identities and cultures,
so the Kanaka Maoli rise.
Ku Kia'i Mauna!
