Advocates for a living wage will be asking our elected officials to deliver on their promises and pass a living wage bill in the 2021 legislative session. But we can’t do it without support from you.
It’s time to Raise Up Hawaiʻi
Every worker deserves a Living Wage.
Will the progressive Democratic platform translate into concrete policies that improve the lives of struggling families in Hawaiʻi? That is the question members of the Raise Up Hawaiʻi coalition are asking.
The 2018 elections brought the number of living wage supporters above a majority in both the state House and Senate, setting the stage for a living wage bill to pass in 2019.
It took the members of UNITE HERE! Local 5, 51 days to improve living conditions for themselves, their families—and by extension—all other hotel workers. There are 60 days in the upcoming legislative session that begins on January 16. Are the rest of us willing to make that same commitment to raising up all of Hawaiʻi?
