Specifically for educators, the Wednesday evening session will cover basic legal information on immigration enforcement efforts.
Posted: July 23, 2025
The Hawaiʻi State Teachers Association is teaming with U.S. Rep. Jill Tokuda (D, HI) and the ACLU Hawaiʻi to present a second “Know Your Rights for Educators: Immigration Enforcement” webinar just days before students return for the new school year.
The virtual session will take place on Wednesday, July 30, from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
During the webinar, educators will hear from Tokuda, HSTA President Osa Tui, Jr., ACLU Hawaiʻi Senior Staff Attorney Emily Hills and ACLU Hawaiʻi Legislative Fellow Nathan Lee. The session will provide educators with basic legal information regarding recent immigration enforcement efforts and individual rights. Topics will include how to protect students and how families can best prepare if they are separated from their children.
The session will conclude with a Q&A, and educators are encouraged to submit their questions in advance on the registration page. You may also ask questions anonymously during the session. Representatives of the news media will be invited to watch the webinar.
For those unable to attend, the session will be recorded and shared on HSTA’s YouTube channel and website afterward.
A previous webinar on the same topic was held on May 20, shortly before the end of last school year. Itʻs available to review here, and a web story summarizing the first session is also posted on our website.
