Got an issue needing support? Tell it to the advocates on Monday at Kokua Council’s 11th Annual Community Forum

by Larry Geller

Are you concerned about the high cost of energy? Disappointed at the scale of media consolidation in the state? Looking for housing solutions? Dislike the way the homeless are being treated? Want decriminalization of marijuana in the state?

These issues and more—are on the agenda for tomorrow’s 11th Annual Community Forum. Vote on legislative priorities. Send a message (140 characters or less) to the new governor.

If you have an issue, there is likely to be some time after the planned program for anyone to take two minutes to ask for support and explain how others can do that.

Come to Harris United Methodist Church, Vineyard Blvd. and Nuuanu Avenue, 11:30-1:30. An optional lunch begins at 11:30, the formal program at noon.

Be there. Listen. Speak up. Speak out.
