Following the murder of George Floyd, protests spread from Minneapolis to other parts of the United States, including Hawaii.

Although the protest remained peaceful, the Target store in Ala Moana closed early at 2:00 p.m. as a precaution.

[3] On June 3, at least 200 people gathered outside of the Hawaii State Capitol in Urban Honolulu to protest Floyd's murder.

Protesters, many of whom were Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and Asian Americans expressed solidarity with Floyd given the racial injustices they had felt also being minorities in the United States.

The crowd, which eventually grew to between 5,000 and 20,000 people, marched to the state capitol to show solidarity with Black Lives Matter.
