Join us at our second Rainbow Town Hall of the year, shining a spotlight on the Change 23 Coalition in support of HB2802, HD 1. The goal is to share info on the outdated discriminatory Section 23 added to Hawaiʻi’s Constitution a generation ago and what next steps are to remove the Hawaiʻi legislature’s authority to limit marriage to opposite-sex couples. Let’s make sure Hawaiʻi remains an inclusive and welcoming place for all loving couples.

Mahalo to our sponsors Hawaiian Airlines, Zippy's and Hawaii News Now! Your support allows us to host an evening of learning from one another, celebrating diversity, and empowering the community to take an active role in advocacy.
