Civil Rights in the Next250On July 30, community members gathered at the Hawaiʻi State Library for Civil Rights in the Next250, connecting Hawaiʻi’s movement for justice to a broader national effort to envision a more just future. Local advocates shared work on climate justice, reproductive freedom, voting rights, economic justice, and community safety, while attendees reflected on their hopes for Hawaiʻi through interactive activities. The event also highlighted the Declaration of Interdependence, a call to build a future rooted in dignity, safety, shared power, environmental stewardship, and collective action. Mahalo to everyone who shared their vision and continues to build a more just Hawaiʻi. Learn more here. |
