Act Now Hawai'i

These critical programs depend on you to keep them funded at current levels.   There are a number of ways you can voice your support.

  • Contact the state legislature to let them know you support these programs.  It's best to contact your representative directly (to find your rep. go to https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/) or send an email to everyone in the State Senate and House: reps@capitol.hawaii.gov or sens@capitolhawaiigov.  Some talking points to consider (to post at a later date):
    •  
  • Sign up for email action alerts by contacting:
    • hawaiiourhome@gmail.com
    • Marjorie Ziegler of the Conservation Council of Hawaii at mz@conservehi.org (however CCH will also alert you to other conservation related bills)
    • Housing Action Alert list (dhein@waikikihc.org)
  • Write a letter to the editor in one of the papers.  Here are some examples from last year:

          Environmental Work Force

          Healthy Environment, Healthy Economy

  • Find out the status of legislation and keep up to date on related hearings requiring your testimony by plugging in bill numbers at https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/.  Example testimonies (to post at a later date):
    •  
  • Spread the news and tell others about the work we're doing and what they can do to help.  Click here for a pdf brochure.
  • Share your stories by sending an email to hawaiiourhome@gmail.com about why you think it's so important to maintain these programs.  Your comments will be shared with others.
