Building Immigrant Power in Hawaiʻi
We are a statewide coalition advancing policies, protections, and pathways so immigrant and migrant communities can thrive.
Hawaiʻi Immigration & Inclusion Conference
A statewide gathering across every sector — strengthening Hawaiʻi's commitment to immigrant inclusion, equity, and belonging. HCIR serves on the steering committee.
To protect rights, shape systems, and empower communities — ensuring immigrant voices are centered in decision-making across Hawaiʻi.
A Hawaiʻi where all immigrants and their families belong, contribute, and lead — where language and cultural diversity are strengths, and systems are shaped by the people they serve.
Three commitments
Protecting Rights
We defend the rights and safety of immigrant and migrant communities — sharing Know Your Rights information, responding to enforcement threats, and connecting families to trusted support and legal resources.
Shaping Systems
We change policies and systems — advancing immigrant-centered legislation, improving language access, and ensuring government decisions reflect the realities of our communities.
Empowering Communities
We build community power through education, leadership development, and coalition organizing — supporting immigrants to speak up, participate in democracy, and lead change.

Young Leaders Advocacy Program
Training emerging leaders in advocacy, storytelling, public speaking, and legislative engagement.
We survey our member organizations to find the gaps between what communities need and what systems provide — then organize, advocate, and direct resources to close them.
