Over 15 students from across the island showed up at Honolulu Hale on Nov.14 to support Bill 40. The students gathered hundreds of signatures from classmates to create the over 60-foot-long document they refer to as “The Scroll” and presented it at the hearing. Wilson Tran, a Junior at Kalani High School and head of Kalani’s Green Team believes the students' efforts were successful. “It was more than just that, and the poster exemplified this," he said. "It was a showing of powerful youth support and just how much influence people can have in large numbers. It was a check on our city officials for one thing, but in the bigger picture it was saying that we want a future.” Photo by Lucy Fagan 2019.
