Pacific Resource Partnership app allows users to get more involved in Hawaiʻi legislative bills
Not every bill introduced at the legislature is available on Kakou, only the ones supported by the six nonprofit organizations PRP partnered with for the app. They are the Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center for Law & Economic Justice, the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, the Hawaiʻi Children’s Action Network, the Hawaiʻi Public Health Institute, Rainbow Family 808 and HawaiiKidsCAN.
“Having an app like Kakou that makes it convenient for the youth and to notify them when something is up for a hearing just makes it convenient and helps them to mobilize and share with their other friends as well,” said Trish La Chica, policy and advocacy director for the Hawaiʻi Public Health Institute.
