Aloha Friends,
We are mourning the loss of Charlie Kirk, and now is a time for us to come together in remembrance and support.
Let us honor his words and his life by gathering in unity.
Please join us at candlelight vigils across the island for a peaceful time of prayer, remembrance, and support.
Vigils will take place on Friday, Sept. 12, in Kailua Kona, Waimea, and Volcano, and on Saturday, Sept. 13, in Hilo.

Charlie reminded us: “What is so important to our country is to find disagreements respectfully. Because when people stop talking, that is when violence happens.”
