Immigrants bring more than just resilience—they bring traditions of justice, accountability, and healing. Join us for an evening of storytelling, community, and reflection as we explore how immigrant experiences and cultural traditions can shape a more just and restorative society.

Our vastly immigrant Muslim Ohana is celebrating Ramadan by fasting from all food and drink from dawn to dusk. The Iftar Dinner consists of breaking the fast at sunset, and gathering community to celebrate in a spirit of gratitude and reflection over nourishing food.

All community members, including children, are welcome to join this free event, limited to 225 guests. Festive and traditional attire is encouraged. Dinner will be halal-certified; gluten-free and vegan options available.

Doors open at 5:00pm. The Town Hall program will take place in the Main Temple at 5:30pm, followed by Maghrib (optional evening prayer for those in observance) at 6:45pm, and conclude with the Iftar Dinner & Q&A in the Social Hall at 7:00pm.

Please RSVP by Thursday, March 13. We hope to see you there, inshAllah.

The ACLU of Hawai‘i is a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization that has been protecting the civil rights and civil liberties of residents of the Hawaiian Islands since its inception in 1974.

With help from community partners and volunteers, the ACLU of Hawai‘i works to ensure that the government does not violate fundamental constitutional rights of everyone — regardless of race, socioeconomic status, gender expression, sexual orientation, or anything else. We fight for a safer, more just Hawai‘i.

Defending civil liberties in the state of Hawai‘i is a constant battle, but a rewarding one. We will continue to work daily in the courts, legislatures and out in the community to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States. As an independent government watchdog, we are able to do this work with the support from individual donors.
