The Hawaii 2.0 initiative is asking different community sectors, “What did we learn in the past year and does it change the state’s priorities?” We’re looking for recommendations for specific actions that will create the kind of future we want for Hawaiʻi. https://t.co/9q3HWvKIFO — PolitiTweet.org

@SparkBibo Aloha, here is a link to the CDC’s COVID data tracker with a breakdown of administered vaccine doses: https://t.co/dxU4WDKlzB — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

@SparkBibo Aloha, the CDC has actually put Hawaii 7th (best) for doses administered per capita, which means Hawaii has been doing well for the doses it’s received. To date, 518,381 doses have been administered. — PolitiTweet.org

That six of the victims were women of Asian descent is particularly appalling, and I condemn all violence based on race or ethnicity. It is our kuleana to stop the rising tide of hate crimes against people of Asian descent.” #StopAsianHate (3/3) — PolitiTweet.org

I’m on Kauai with other state leaders to assess the damage caused by severe weather. Our first stop is Kauai EMA, where everyone has been working incredibly hard to keep residents safe here. I want to express my sincere appreciation for everything they do for Hawaii. Mahalo. https://t.co/5v1B6Ws8Vh — PolitiTweet.org

While it’s too early to say if the tragic killings in Georgia were racially motivated, violence against Asians and others based on their race or ethnicity is never OK. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

It would be an understatement to say COVID-19 has changed everything – including going virtual nearly 24/7. However, the transition hasn't been easy for everyone and the pandemic has shown gaps of digital inequity. The “Broadband Hui” aims to help: https://t.co/2JrGzJ30wi — PolitiTweet.org

@shit_boii Essential workers are considered individuals in industries and occupations that are important to the functioning of society and those whose jobs put them at increased risk of exposure. This includes restaurant workers. An estimated 47% of the state's population falls under 1C. — PolitiTweet.org
