WHAT WE'RE SUPPORTING:

The Citizen Memorandum Click Here

Help us present thousands of signatures to the Hawaiʻi Legislature supporting:

 

Last Year, Citizens Made a Difference!

More than 1,300 Hawaiʻi residents signed our Citizen Memorandum last year in support of parental rights. Legislators told us those signatures made a meaningful difference during the legislative session.

Now, we're coming together again to make our voices heard.

In this year's memorandum we're asking citizens to support practical reforms that increase transparency, accountability, and citizen participation.

🗳 Fair Elections

We support election processes that are transparent, verifiable, and trusted by the public.

• One-day voting
• Paper ballots
• Hand-counted ballots
• Transparent public audits

📜 Citizen Voice

Give citizens a greater voice in government by creating a process to:

• Place citizen initiatives on the ballot
• Repeal laws through referendum
• Recall elected officials more easily

🌺 Strong Local Communities

Healthy communities begin with empowered citizens.

We support efforts to:

• Protect private property rights
• Protect Hawaiʻi agriculture
• Keep decision-making local
• Encourage civic participation

In-person signatures carry greater impact.

WHY THIS TOUR?

Healthy communities begin with trust.

Regardless of political party, most people agree that elections should be transparent, government should remain accountable to the people, and citizens should have a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect their lives.

This tour is about bringing Hawaiʻi residents together to discuss practical reforms, strengthen local communities, and encourage respectful civic engagement.

Why It Matters?

Real Change Starts With Local Action

Throughout history, meaningful change has happened when ordinary people become informed, connected, and involved.

Our goal isn't simply to discuss problems.

Our goal is to build stronger communities that can work together to create practical solutions for Hawaiʻi's future.
