Committee for Equity in Women's Surfing

Honolulu Bill 10

Honolulu Bill 10

Brennan said, “I’m hopeful that the City and County of Honolulu will eventually require a permit condition that insures all professional sports competitions held solely on city/county land have gendered categories and identical playing time and prize compensation for each category at each participant level.”

Honolulu City Council: Honorary Certificate

As a co-founder of the Committee for Equity in Women’s Surfing I was thrilled to receive an honorary certificate from the Honolulu City Council. At the same meeting Resolution 20-12 was unanimously approved. A great day for equality, inclusion, equal access and equal pay!

Thank you Councilmembers!

Resolution 20-12 made front page news in the Honolulu Star Advertiser on Sunday!

The work I started in 2015 has inspired state agency policy changes, city council resolutions in two states and a state law in California. I’m overjoyed that the City and County of Honolulu supports policy changes that will help end gender discrimination. This is a great moment for equality and equal pay in professional sports!

Elected representatives and public agencies have the power to stop gender discrimination by following and enforcing state and federal civil rights laws.

Jack's Pro Surfing Comp: Women are included!

On Friday, a women's division was included in the Jack’s Pro for the first time ever. 

In 2019, I sent numerous letters and made phone calls to the City of Huntington Beach, Coastal Commission and State Lands Commission regarding a pattern of gender discrimination in pervious competitions.

It's great to see past practices corrected!
