resist + educate + organize
Hawai‘i J20+ came together on January 20, 2017, to act on shared concerns about the rhetoric, actions, and politics of President Donald Trump’s agenda. In 2021, we foolishly closed up shop thinking we were done. We have revived to fight Trump + the billionaires, AGAIN, and it is more urgent now than ever!
Hawai‘i J20+ Condemns ICE Aggression on the Islands and Trump’s Misinformation Campaign Against Migrants, including the Kaua‘i 44

RESIST
People classified as “migrants” are in the eye of the fascist storm sweeping across the world. As Trump tries to put a tyrannical, authoritarian regime in place, ICE has sent out plainclothed, masked gunmen to grab our neighbors, co-workers, and friends and disappear them into private, for-profit immigration jails. Children are being torn away from their parents – again. Migrants are being deported to random countries paid by Trump to warehouse them. What is being done to migrants today is rapidly spreading to affect those of us classified as citizens. We must reject Trump’s efforts to divide citizens from migrants. We do that by acting in solidarity and crushing Trump’s ICE machine.

President Trump and his supporters are actively sowing doubt about the integrity of our election system, encouraging people to question their proven safety. At the same time, Trump (and his allies in the courts and certain state legislatures) are actively working to diminish people’s right to vote and engaging in other actions designed to bias the elections and make them unfair. Together, we will stand up to these multiple threats!
Speakers:
• Hawai‘i Senator Karl Rhoads
