A Message From Our Chairs

Welcome to the Patsy T. Mink PAC!

On June 24, 2022, like other Americans we were shocked and dismayed to learn the US Supreme Court struck down the fifty-year-old precedent Roe v Wade that protected women’s privacy, allowing women to make their own reproductive health choices. We need everyone’s help in this critical time. For now, safe and legal abortion is available in Hawai`i, but women and girls in many states were suddenly robbed of their right to make their own reproductive health care choices.

We know our mission has become more important to every woman in the state of Hawai’i and could have national importance. We work to support promising, progressive, pro-choice, Democratic women candidates and help them win. We believe electing and reelecting such women will protect and strengthen women’s rights at the state level and also prepare women to run for federal and national office where they can promote responsible and sound leadership at the national level.

The PAC is unique. We are a grassroots political network dedicated to raising early money for our endorsed candidates. We see women elected to office bring a unique perspective and advocacy on behalf of women and families. In addition to reproductive choice, they support women and families on such important issues and policies as education, economic and employment opportunities, child care, health care, freedom from violence, and personal safety, which must be legislative priorities.

We need your generous help today to elect Democratic, pro-choice women to state offices to protect safe and legal abortion in Hawaii and ensure that other vital issues are addressed.

Mahalo for all of your support!
