Special - The 2025 ʻOnipaʻa Peace March and Rally

On Friday, January 17, 2025, thousands will gather in Honolulu for the annual ʻOnipaʻa Peace March and Rally, marching from the Mauna Ala Royal Mausoleum to ʻIolani Palace. The 2025 march marks the 132nd anniversary of the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the beginning of u.s. occupation. The annual event, convened by the Queenʻs Court and Ka Lāhui Hawaiʻi, raises public awareness about the overthrow and occupation and calls the lāhui and allies to stand firm.

In today’s special episode, Kauwila Sheldon, a committee member of Ka Lāhui Hawaiʻi, shares about the history and significance of the ʻOnipaʻa march and gives context and pointers for those who would like to participate.
