Campaign for Immigrant Justice — defending due process for allCampaign for Immigrant Justice — defending due process for all

Campaign for Immigrant Justice 2026

We did it. On July 28, Governor Josh Green signed the campaign's landmark bills at the Hawaiʻi State Capitol — called some of the strongest immigrant justice laws in the nation: protections for due process, safe community spaces like schools and hospitals, survivors of trafficking, and language access. Led with ACLU of Hawaiʻi and The Legal Clinic — and carried by every partner, legislator, and advocate who testified, organized, and showed up. Mahalo nui loa.

And it’s not over — this fall the campaign hits the road with town halls across the islands, bringing the new laws back to the communities that won them.

Ko mākou kuleana · Our mission

To protect rights, shape systems, and empower communities — ensuring immigrant voices are centered in decision-making across Hawaiʻi.

About the coalition →
Our vision

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.

What we do

Three commitments

See the work →

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.

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. See the data →
