Strengthening Democracy in Hawaiʻi: From Community Organizing to Public Leadership
Join Funder Hui’s Learning Call on October 29, 8–9am HST on Zoom. We’ll welcome Evan Weber, Co-Founder of Our Hawaiʻi, and Aria Juliet Castillo, Co-Founder of Kuleana Academy, for a conversation on why integrity is foundational to a healthy democracy. They’ll share lessons from their organizing work in Hawaiʻi and practical ways funders and community partners can help strengthen trust, accountability, and participation.
Our Hawaiʻi is a movement organization building people power to advance justice, sustainability, and democracy in the islands, while Kuleana Academy equips emerging leaders with the skills and values to run for office and serve their communities with accountability. Together, they’ll share lessons from their work in Hawaiʻi and practical ways funders and community partners can strengthen trust, accountability, and participation.
Funder Hui Learning Calls are open to the public and posted on our website following the events.
