We had the pleasure of hosting Rep Matthias Kusch for our latest Lunch with a Legislator!

Informational briefings keep transparency alive between sessions.

This week: the House Committee on Public Safety discussed Hawaiʻi’s Deportation Data Project and policy recommendations.

The Legislature may be adjourned, but the work continues.
Informational briefings help lawmakers and the public prepare for next session — democracy in between sessions.

“Democracy is not something we have — it’s something we do.” — Granny D Haddock
A gentle reminder that civic life is a practice, not a possession.

The Elections Commission plays a key role in safeguarding Hawaiʻi’s election systems—setting rules, reviewing processes, and appointing the chief election officer.

It’s one of the quiet but essential structures that help keep our democracy steady.

The State Election Commission is Hawaiʻi’s election watchdog — keeping our voting system fair, secure, and transparent.

Their meetings are open to the public. 👀

As the holiday weekend wraps up, a little Honolulu history: early city governance meetings happened in 1907 at the old Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

Civic engagement has always been part of Oʻahu’s story.

A bright day at ʻIolani: registration, civic conversations, and future leaders in the making.

Today we’re spotlighting Advocacy Committee member Beppie Shapiro, whose work focuses on Campaign Finance Reform and Economic Justice.

Her commitment comes from years of seeing how inequality affects daily life — and how stronger campaign finance systems can help change that.

#LWVHonolulu

We’ve opened volunteer opportunities on our Events, Membership, and Communications committees.

If you’d like to get more involved with democracy work on Oʻahu, reach out.

State Legislature = statewide laws.
City Council = local ordinances.
Your voice matters at both levels.
