Seema Sueko-Low ’90 ACTION ALERT

Action Alert: Oppose HB1378-HD2 | Protect Arts & Culture Funding in Hawai‘i

Aloha, Friends in Hawaii,

Some members of the Hawaii State Legislature continue to try to dismantle funding for the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. Details can be found in the email below from the Hawaii Arts Alliance. Our collective voices were successful at blocking similar bills earlier in this legislative session. I’m writing to ask us all to take action once more to defend the arts in Hawaii. 

Please contact the five Senators on the TCA Committee as soon as possible. You can call them or email them. Please state that you oppose HB1378-HD2 and urge them NOT to hear the bill. Here is their contact information:

Senator Chris Lee, Chair of TCA Committee – Phone: 808-587-8388, senlee@capitol.hawaii.gov

Senator Lorraine R. Inouye, Vice Chair of TCA Committee – Phone: 808-586-7335 seninouye@capitol.hawaii.gov

Senator Brandon J.C. Elefante –Phone: 808-586-6230, senelefante@capitol.hawaii.gov 

Senator Dru Mamo Kanuha – Phone: 808-586-9385, senkanuha@capitol.hawaii.gov

Senator Samantha Decorte – Phone: 808-586-7793, sendecorte@capitol.hawaii.gov

Mahalo for your efforts. Please reach out if you have any questions. And please spread the word. Ask your friends and family to also make these calls.
