Catholic Charities Hawaii is one of the major sponsors for the 20th Annual Men’s March Against Violence, a yearly demonstration highlighting awareness of domestic violence, Oct. 23, in downtown Honolulu. The event begins with a short march starting at noon from the State Capitol rotunda to Honolulu Hale’s Skygate Park, where a rally is scheduled for 12:20 p.m.
Men are asked to do the walk, but anyone is welcome to march alongside them. Marchers may wear company or school shirts and bring a banner identifying their organization. All are encouraged to attend the post-march rally, which will feature several speakers. The honorary chairman of the event is Dr. Jerris Hedges, dean of the John A. Burns School of Medicine.
Other sponsors include the Domestic Violence Action Center, the City and County of Honolulu, Kaiser Permanente, Kapiolani Community College, YMCA and PHOCUSED.
