I found this a beautifully produced video of the Aloha ʻĀina march and events on O’ahu on 8-9-15.

Aloha ʻĀina Unity March | For the Love of ʻĀina

The Aloha ʻĀina Unity March gathered together people from all around Hawaiʻi, standing together for the protection of our land, natural resources, and way of life. Ten thousand rallied in unity Sunday, marching down Waikīkī and gathering at Kapiʻolani Park in support of Aloha ʻĀina.

UPDATE: Here is the original FB notice for this from Lori Helemano, who apparently had the idea for this event.

I’m thinking of organizing a march through Waikiki, here on O’ahu. We need to reach the tourists and get them educated on what’s going on here in our ‘paradise’. I don’t want it to be just a march though, I want for us to be able to hand out flyers and possibly end the march at one of the beaches in Waikiki, for an informative educational gathering…one where we can advise tourists that are interested in learning more about our culture, our people and our lands. I would like to include at least one of our Aloha ʻĀina leaders, a cultural practitioner, a kumu ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i, and kupuna. Before strategizing this effort, I’d like to get feedback from everyone to see how many would be interested in participating and to see if we would be able to round up those in position, as mentioned above. I welcome all mana’o and am open to suggestions. Mahalo nui!…
