On Sept 5, 2018, Surf Equity won the fight for inclusion, the fight for a multi-heat division and the fight for equal prize money across all World Surf League global events. In an email referring to Surf Equity’s advocacy work, Governor Newsom said: “I applaud the courage of the athletes and activist who fought for this victory, and I am hopeful that this will inspire the next generation — of daring athletes and activists with the audacity to challenge the status quo.” New York Times Magazine | Sunday, Feb 7, 2019

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.”

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.
