Hawaiʻi Children’s Policy Agenda

This seventh annual Hawaiʻi Children’s Policy Agenda, published by Hawaiʻi Children’s Action Network Speaks!, reflects the input of 33 Community Champion members. These organizations, coalitions, and individuals are committed to improving the lives of our keiki by promoting public policy changes that benefit children’s health, safety, education, and economic security.

The Agenda contains 24 priorities for the 2022 Hawaiʻi State Legislative Session. These are the top priority issues of our Community Champion members.
