The county resolution, titled, “Demonstrating the Aloha Spirit and Fostering Peace, Diplomacy, and Unity within the County of Hawaiʻi, the State of Hawaiʻi, and Beyond,” coincides with the United Nations’ International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness.  

The adoption of the resolution by the Hawaiʻi Democrats makes it the second state Democratic party to adopt such a resolution behind only the Texas Democrats.

The Mauna Kea Visitors Center is also closed until further notice.
