Support Our Work to Protect Civil Liberties in Hawai‘i

As the 2026 legislative session approaches, the ACLU of Hawai‘i's Policy Team has selected informed legislative priorities that advocate for those who have had their rights infringed upon by the state and federal government while fighting against democratic backslide into authoritarianism.

Mahalo nui to all our supporters, event contributors, partner organizations, and to the community at-large for celebrating 60 years of the ACLU of Hawai‘i!
