Citizens Testimony Training

Jan 30, 2025 @ 11-12 pm HST

Join us for our annual citizens testimony training where we show you the ropes on how to support our bills. The 205 Legislative Session is upon us and we will need your help to move our bills on psychedelic access through the legislative process.

We will go through how to navigate the capitol.hawaii.gov website, from creating an account to submitting testimony and tracking hearings. For all those who want to see psychedelic access in Hawaiʻi, we hope to see you there!
