#George Floyd maui

As demonstrations continue across the country, more peaceful protests continue to pop up around Maui, including demonstrations this morning along Kaʻahumanu Avenue in Kahului and fronting the Lahaina Cannery Mall in Lahaina.

Organizers said, “It is time to move toward healing.  It is time to move toward forgiveness.  It is time to move toward love.  It is time to love ourselves.”

A peaceful Paddle Out for George Floyd was held just before sunset on the West shores of Maui on Sunday in a show of unity amid tensions nationally over the man’s death at the hands of a police officer.

The peaceful demonstration, which began at 10 a.m., included a line of individuals holding signs and chanting “I can’t breathe,” as passing motorists honked horns.   The rally comes on the heels of the May 25th death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the ongoing protests that have followed.
