Happy Opening Day! 👩‍⚖️

It was awesome to hear #PeriodPoverty be discussed in the @HawaiiSenate opening remarks as a legislative priority. For 3 years teachers & students have been trying to get a bill passed.

Let’s get this done! Sign-up to help us https://t.co/6waJtyBy5n

[Sarah “Mili” Milianta-Laffin @MiliLaff]

We’re going to end #PeriodPoverty in Hawai’i schools during the 2022 Session of the Hawai’i State Legislature. That’s the tweet.

Stay tuned for how YOU can help #808Educate teachers!

[senatoracasio @senatoracasio]

We're continuing our fight to end period poverty in Hawai'i, particularly among our students who remain one of the most vulnerable groups in our community. We're hopeful that this time, our bill for schools to provide free menstrual products will pass.

Let's end period poverty!

[Sarah “Mili” Milianta-Laffin @MiliLaff]

So glad you got our sign @kriscoffield - get a sticker too!

You’ve been on this mission w/ us (to end #PeriodPoverty in schools) since 2019. The bill to provide FREE period products in schools has a lot of traction going into this legislative session 🤞🏻 #EndPPinHI #808Educate

Mahalo to these senators who stood up for Hawaiian land rights and voted with Senator Acasio against HB499.

[senatoracasio @senatoracasio]

Good News for Waiākea High School.
Governor Ige has just released $5 Million to finance the design and construction of the Girls Athletic Locker Room on campus.

[senatoracasio @senatoracasio]

Yes, it's not Friday yet... But last Friday was "Hemp Aloha Friday" started by retired Rep. Cynthia Thielen.

[senatoracasio @senatoracasio]

Although our request for state funding in support of this dream was not approved this session, we honor the tough choices legislators made during these difficult times, and we renew our commitment to press ahead. IMUA! 2/2

[senatoracasio @senatoracasio]

IMAGINE a place where everyone has access to shelter and basic facilities. . .where the circular economy comes to life. . . where resources are respected and innovation rules. 1/2

[senatoracasio @senatoracasio]

Good news for everyone who relies on Hilo Medical Center for intensive care. A $20M allocation to expand and improve those facilities was approved by the state legislature this week. This CIP request was sponsored by Senator Laura Acasio and Rep. Mark Nakashima.
