Maui radio personalit­y Cindy Paulos — a music producer, author and poet — has been named a 2020 CrossCultu­ral & Peace Crafter Award Laureate by the United Nations Educationa­l, Scientific and Cultural Organizati­on Center for Peace, the flagship member of the U.S. Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centers and Associatio­ns.

The award ceremony will take place virtually Monday during the commemorat­ion of the 2020 Internatio­nal Day for Peace.

The Cross-Cultural & Peace Crafters event is hosted each year by UNESCO Center for Peace as a way of shining a spotlight and to honor artists, scientists and social justice activists from around the world.

“These individual­s have contribute­d peace to a world in such dire need for peacemaker­s and social justice. They have significan­tly contribute­d, each in their own way, to make this world just a little better,” said Guy Djoken, the executive director of UNESCO Center for Peace.

Act, H.R. 763. He will explain how this bill, introduced in the U. S. House of Representa­tives on Jan. 24, 2019, would be a boon to renewable energy production and use in Hawaii. This bill includes an annual dividend refund to most American households.

Solomon will give an update on the status of a similar bill that passed one house of the Hawaii Legislatur­e earlier in 2020 and the work of the Citizens Climate Lobby and its Maui chapter, a nonpartisa­n group that is fighting for these bills to address climate change.
