Meet ‘Value of Hawaii’ Editors at Civil Beat
Essays from the book, “The Value of Hawaii,” have already generated lively discussion on Civil Beat. The first opportunity to continue the conversation in person comes at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 5 at Civil Beat headquarters. The public is invited.
Editors Craig Howes and Jonathan Osorio will join our Chad Blair to talk about their essays in the book (all of which by then will have been excerpted on Civil Beat — Osorio’s will be published Monday). They’ll also talk about the idea of the book itself and answer questions from people in the audience.
The book has the goal of providing “a cluster of starting points for a larger community discussion of Hawaii that should extend beyond the choices of the ballot box this year.” We’ll be talking about politics, government and Hawaiian issues.
If you’d like to attend, please RSVP to beatup@civilbeat.com. We’d like to know how many people plan to come so we can better host the event.
This will be the first Beatup in a series dedicated to the essays in the book. The essays will be published every Monday until the November general election.
