Under Active Construction.
The Hawaii Pro-Democracy Initiative is a non-profit organization of Hawaii citizens who support political reform in areas such as ethics, campaign spending, conflicts of interest, and legislative public access. Some of the items currently on this website are archival materials of projects we have previously undertaken.
We are currently supporting Hawaii Government Watch by reformating this website to serve as a storage facility for backup documentation for various good government support groups. We anticipate historical data and some analysis, links to news articles and legislative information, and other valuable items.
We encourage you to visit and consider joining one or more of the public interest organizations listed at the end of this page.
