Aloha,
Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, we celebrate the strength, courage, and contributions of our trans, non-binary, and māhū community here in Hawai‘i and beyond. And today, we also celebrate you—our incredible supporters—because together, we’ve reached a major milestone: 500 signatures on our petition to protect access to gender-affirming care!
Mahalo nui loa to everyone who has signed, shared, and amplified our message. Every signature sends a powerful statement: we will not stand by as fundamental rights are threatened. Special thanks to those who donated on Change.org to help spread the word—you’ve made a real difference in getting our petition seen and heard.
In these challenging times, visibility matters. Not only for our trans and non-binary ‘ohana but also for allies, advocates, and the dedicated medical providers who ensure access to care. By protecting one group’s rights, we safeguard everyone’s rights—because an attack on any of us is an attack on all of us.
Let’s keep the momentum going! If you haven’t already, please continue sharing this petition far and wide:
Together, we will keep Hawai‘i a place of inclusion, dignity, and justice for all.
With gratitude and warmest aloha,
Abby Simmons (she/her)
