Peaceful Protest Power

You know what I didn’t expect to see at today's peace protest in Maui? A whole contingent of retired citizens armed with truly epic signs and an unwavering commitment to protecting democracy. The creativity, the humor, and the sheer determination were incredible! It was a powerful reminder that age is no barrier to activism, and that hope can be found in the most unexpected places.

Humor + Heart in Maui, 14 June 2025

Check out the photos to see some of what I captured – a glimpse of the spirit of aloha & defiance.

So many incredible people: retirees with decades of wisdom, families worried about the world their children will inherit, and a whole lot of folks bringing some serious humor to the fight. Seriously, the banners were gold.
