———————————-
On June 14, 2025, we will gather not just in celebration, but in resistance, in remembrance, and in deep aloha for one another. We will meet on Market Street in the heart of Wailuku as a collective force of love, identity, and truth, bound by our shared commitment to Lokahi, the unity that has always carried our people through fire, injustice, and struggle.
At this moment in history, we must speak the truth.
Across the country, the current administration is unleashing a wave of harmful policies that target LGBTQIA plus people, with transgender individuals suffering the most. These attacks include stripping away healthcare protections, banning gender-affirming care, censoring our identities in classrooms, and attempting to push us out of public life. These are not just political moves. They are acts of harm. They are dangerous, discriminatory, and deeply personal.
But here in Maui County, we hold the line with courage.
Our islands have always honored the sacredness of identity. We recognize the strength and wisdom of our Māhū relatives, who have long played vital roles in Hawaiian culture. We understand that being different is not something to fear but something to celebrate. That is why Maui Pride is more than a celebration. It is a statement. A statement that trans lives matter, that our LGBTQIA plus ʻohana deserves dignity and protection, and that Maui will always lead with love, truth, and justice.
Pride is a time to lift the voices that have been ignored. It is a space to honor the businesses and leaders who choose compassion over conformity and who stand against discrimination in all its forms. Our community is strong, and our kuleana is clear. We must protect one another and build a future where everyone can live freely, safely, and with pride.
Support Maui Pride 2025. Join us in creating a future rooted in unity, hope, and aloha.
With gratitude and fierce love,
Aloha Maui Pride & Maui AIDS Foundation
