ENDORSEMENT ALERT

City and County of Honolulu's Honolulu Charter Commission Amendment

Question #4 - Equity & Inclusion

Question #4 calls for the creation of a 9 person LGBTQIA+ Commission for the City and County of Honolulu

Giving māhū, LGBTQIA+, and QTPI+ residents a formal voice in City government.

The Commission would create a permanent mechanism for māhū, LGBTQIA+, and QTPI+ residents and community organizations to bring their concerns and recommendations directly to the Mayor, City Council, and City agencies.
Ensure māhū, LGBTQIA+, and QTPI+ issues are considered across City government.
Issues affecting māhū, LGBTQIA+, and QTPI+ people can involve housing, homelessness, public safety, healthcare, transportation, employment, aging, youth services, and other City responsibilities. A dedicated commission can help ensure these issues aren't overlooked.
Bring community expertise to policymaking.
Commissioners with lived experience and subject-matter expertise can help City officials understand how proposed policies and programs may affect māhū, LGBTQIA+, and QTPI+ residents.
Create an independent advisory voice.
The Commission would advise City leadership rather than replace elected officials. Its role would be to research, identify community needs, make recommendations, and provide another source of information for decision-makers.
