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

You must remember never to cease to act
because you fear you may fail."

"That first night of my imprisonment was the longest night I have ever passed in my life; it seemed as though the dawn of day
would never come."
