Welcome to the fight to make Hawaiʻi a place where keiki and families can truly thrive.

The 2026 Legislative Session includes powerful opportunities to strengthen our communities and support families across the state. This year, we’re advocating for policies that encourage a strong early childhood workforce, support working ʻohana, improve health and safety for keiki, and ensure families have the resources they need to thrive.

We’re here to help you understand the issues, connect with the movement, and use your voice to create real change.
