Two local civil rights organizations, the Hawaii Disability Rights Center (HDRC) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawai‘i Foundation (ACLU) urge the Department of Education (DOE) to reform school suspension practices as the school year begins.

The ACLU of Hawai‘i and the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty issued a joint open letter to mayors attending the the 2019 U.S. Conference of Mayors in Honolulu, Hawai‘i.

The Hawai‘i State Department of Education filed documents revealing a plan to wait until two female high school athletes graduate in the gender discrimination lawsuit.

An attorney for former Honolulu Police Chief Louis Kealoha has demanded that Kenneth Lawson, an associate faculty specialist at the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawai'i (UH Law), should be fired for comments about the Kealoha case.

Kāhala Nui confirms that residents can utilize Hawaii’s new medical aid-in-dying law in their private residences and that the Community does not grant preferences to Catholic residents or otherwise discriminate based on religion.
