HAWAII BIPOC NETWORK was created to fill a gap in the organizing of and services to trans and gender-nonconforming people. Currently, very few trans social services or advocacy networks exist on the South and West Sides of HAWAII. Furthermore, the few trans-specific resources in the city are located in majority-white neighborhoods on the North Side, which are inaccessible geographically, and also regularly result in the hyper-policing of trans people of color who attempt to access them.
