Campaign for Harris/Walz and STOP TRUMP!
Donald Trump has told us exactly what he plans for LGBTQ people if he is elected in November in his campaign rallies: “On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto our children.” In Project 2025, the Republican manual for his first 180 days in office, the plan is to reinstate a transgender military ban, limit LGBTQ workplace discrimination protections, rescind healthcare protections for transgender people, and urge Congress to define gender as male and female, fixed at birth.

Get Active with Harris
Aloha! You can get active in Hawaii by sign waving for Harris, volunteering in the Islands, grabbing some Harris merchandise, and much more. You’ll find it all here.
The LGBTQIA+ Rights Team addresses issues which may affect the LGBTQIA+ community. The initiative was formed when Indivisible Hawaii realized that, despite current Hawai’i statutes allowing for same sex marriage and the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges recognizing the Constitutional right of same sex citizens to marry, Hawai’i’s State Constitution still contains this language: “Section 23. The legislature shall have the power to reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples.” Realizing this now-void language still exists woke our members up. The LGBTQIA+ community faces increasing online harassment, hate crimes, and increasing discrimination. This team is working to fight that discrimination and preserve rights for the LGBTQIA+ community.
