Ka Lei Maile Ali`i Hawaiian Civic Club is dedicated to educating our community about Hawaiian history. Many of us growing up in Hawai`i learned that Queen Lili`uokalani was a weak monarch and that Hawai`i was overthrown in 1893 and annexed to the United States in 1898. After a century of (mis)education within a system that taught an incorrect history of Hawai`i’s relationship with the U.S., all of us in Hawai`i now have new information about what really happened in our past.In 1993, the United States Congress passed Public Law 103-150 apologizing for the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. However, no attempt was made to undo the wrong. In the last 15 years, young scholars from the University of Hawai`i, researching in Hawaiian language newspapers and documents, have revealed a truth of our history, that in addition to the illegal overthrow, there was no treaty of annexation. How Hawai`i came to be part of the United States is in question.Our club is engaged in two primary activities: a reenactment of a meeting between the Hui Aloha `Aina o Nawahine (Hawaiian Patriotic League, Women’s Branch) and the maka`ainana (people) that took place in the Hilo Salvation Army Hall on Hawai`i Island; and the Ku`e Petition Project that honors our kupuna, our ancestors. It is our way to make history real to the ordinary person.Queen Lili`uokalani was a very wise and courageous woman who forgave those who conspired against her and against the Hawaiian Kingdom. She endured imprisonment in her room at `Iolani Palace for eight months, following the illegal overthrow. She believed that the United states would do the right thing and return her to her rightful place as Queen of the Hawaiian Kingdom. After more than a century, she continues to wait and we continue to carry her message forward. We are steadfast and immovable.

L.A. Rooted is a grassroots summer youth program which aims to cultivate youth leadership in the areas of environmental stewardship, community empowerment, food sovereignty and self-care.L.A. Rooted had its first summer youth program in July of 2013. It was started by Rio Contreras and Johanna Iraheta, members of a cyclists of color collective called Raices Roots. In September 2012 Raices Roots set out to reconnect with their Latin American ancestry and local autonomous communities in Mexico and Guatemala. L.A. Rooted is a manifestation of the trip’s goal to share the empowering experience of the trip with other low-income communities of color in Los Angeles. Our intent is to provide alternative knowledge and practices for youth, in order to address the conditions of growing up in unhealthy environments with unsafe choices and fractured communities.Many low-income youth of color live and work in industrious locations infused with toxins from cars and factories. Youth constantly face the threat of sexually-transmitted infections and diseases, unwanted pregnancies, obesity, diabetes and heart-related problems. Our youth also live in communities fractured by nations, race, sexuality, gangs, class and gentrification. These divisions have inspired us to create decentralized radical education to support our youth leaders and foster unity in our communities.

LAGAI - Queer Insurrection is a small independent radical queer activist group. We started in 1983 as Lesbians and Gays Against Intervention and have been through a bunch of name changes, but kept our acronym, even though no one can figure out what it stands for any more. We are anti-authoritarian, anti-militarist, pro-feminist and anti-racist, and we demand that queer issues never be put on the back burner. We will accept nothing less than full civil rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people, but we believe some rights are not worth fighting for. We do not think queers or straights should be in the military of a society like the U.S., or probably any government, and we feel that the queer liberation position is to oppose marriage as the central institution of patriarchy, not to try to get married ourselves.We do poster campaigns and small direct actions, and participate in larger demonstrations and organizing coalitions. We are active in protests against war, the death penalty and police brutality, in the Palestine solidarity movement and the struggle to save social security and workers' rights.

The Lavender Rights Project is the only legal services provider in Washington State dedicated to serving the specific needs of the trans, gender non-conforming, queer, and LGB identified communities. We are a by and for organization, meaning all of our directors, attorneys and staff are members of the trans and/or queer community of Washington. ​In a world where as trans and queer folks we face widespread systemic discrimination in all aspects of our lives, Washington is a place where legal protections exist, and therefore is a beacon for many queer and trans people. Indeed, Washington typically has one of the highest total and per capita LGBTQ identified populations in the United States. Under the Washington Law Against Discrimination, it is illegal to discriminate based on an individual's gender identity or presentation in the context of employment, housing, public accommodations and other specific areas. However, the mere presence of the law does not prevent discrimination from happening in these and other areas of life. ​As an organization we are committed to addressing the specific needs of our communities, whether those needs be for an individual or for many individuals. We are grounded in aspiring to dignity for all and an anti-discrimination framework. We conduct our work utilizing the principles of intersectionality and with a particular focus on providing access to our services and the legal system to those who are facing multiple barriers to access due to race, ethnicity, class background, ability, immigration status, engagement in sex work or other underground economies, HIV status, homelessness as well as holding a trans, queer, gender non-conforming and/or LGBT identity. Our aim is to provide excellent legal representation, policy advocacy, and community education, as well as support and information such that individuals can represent themselves in legal processes.
