we are inviting faith leaders and groups around the world to pray with all of us on Earth Day. https://www.kanuhawaii.org/e-ala-e-2024/

Kanaka has invited faith leaders and groups from around the world to pray with them for Earth Day.  This will be an evening of interfaith prayers for Earth in the spirit of Aloha. The Aloha Spirit embodies the coordination of mind and heart in each person; it is a way of life that expresses love and connection to nature, to Earth and all life on our planet.  We will join, in community, to commit ourselves to caring for all people, the environment, and all creatures in it. 

Kanaka is a grassroots movement that formed in 2006 to take action to protect and promote Hawaiian cultural heritage and to right what is wrong by promoting government accountability.  The Kanaka movement has an annual emphasis.  This year’s emphasis is for prayers and pledges from the global community to address climate change)
