Earthday is important to us people of Hawaii as we connect with these abundant and awe inspiring islands with the powerful and beautiful traditions of Hawaiian and other earth based cultures from around the world. It's a busy weekend across the Big Island with various tree plantings, workdays, and sign wavings across the island. The ones we've heard about so far include the Protect Pohakuloa contingent Thursday 4/20 9am-12pm (and again Sunday 4/23 and 4/ 30 2-4pm), the March for Science happening Friday 4/21 at 5:30 pm in Hilo, and again Saturday 4/22 alongside the Aloha Aina contingent of the Merrie Monarch Parade 8:30am in Hilo. We're sure there's many more happenings, so get out there, but the Honokaa People's Theatre is having a community informational film screening and signmaking event in the evening on Sunday 4/23 right after our Ecstatic Dance, to get everyone prepped for the upcoming People's Climate March 4/29 and informed about local issues from Climate Change effects worldwide to specifics on the Big Island to info about Pohakuloa and the Ookala Dairy, including a talk story by Lanakila Managuil and Val Poindexter. The films will be followed by signmaking (bring your materials) and live music by Kaahele and The Jeffrey James Show. Please come connect with the community, brush up your graphics, and get activated! Sea Dandelion will be there serving Kombucha and Ono Tropical Fruit Poi Bowls…
