Happy King Kamehameha Day! 🌺

This Memorial Day, we want to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country—and those who died long after their service.

Unfortunately, many veterans have been unknowingly exposed to asbestos and other toxic substances during their service, which can lead to illness and death years later. We are committed to advocating for justice on behalf of Hawai'i veterans and their families. Today, we remember the battles that have been fought, those who have been lost and those who are still fighting.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and S*xual Assault Awareness Month.

It’s important to recognize not only the ongoing impact of abuse — but also the importance of prevention, education and survivor support. Unfortunately, many instances of sexual assault and child abuse go unreported. It’s imperative to create safe environments where survivors feel they can come forward, and have access to care, justice and resources.

We want to highlight some of the great organizations we partner with that support survivors of child abuse and sexual assault: Hawaii State Chapter of Children's Justice Centers and The S*x Abuse Treatment Center at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children. If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, please reach out. You deserve to be heard and supported.

Protect our keiki.
