Newspapers need to stop publishing letters that deny climate change. Every word that is put into the public eye that discounts scientific data that shows how man has hurt the environment teaches more people that what they are doing does not degrade the planet. The science is clear: people have created harm and people are the only ones who can do anything to reverse it.

Tell the Hawaii Legislature and the Governor that we need a minimum wage of $15.00 per hour. As one of the most expensive states to live in, we need a minimum wage in Hawai’i that goes beyond being “minimal” to being a living wage that people here can afford rent, to eat healthy food, and get adequate health care. It’s time to stop subsidizing the gross profits of Big Businesses like Walmart and McDonald’s and other companies that exploit workers with low pay. We are tired of our taxes subsidizing the food and healthcare costs of such corporation’s “working poor” employees when these companies can afford to pay their workers a living wage. Give working people the dignity of paying their own way in society and make greedy companies dignify their workers with a minimum wage of $15.

To raise awareness of the malicious nature of the right wing in harming people by trying to deny efforts to get people health care coverage.

Independent animal rescues are calling for the resignation of Dr. Jennifer Federico. A week ago, Dr. Federico authorized the euthanization of 60 cats confiscated in a hoarding raid. Both sides agree that the 60 cats were ill and were suffering. The independent rescuers wanted the cats treated, but if that were to happen, then 60 cats in the shelter would have died. There is not unlimited space and resources for the animals in our community. We are all in agreement that irresponsible pet ownership and lack of regulation on spaying and neutering are to blame. Our hope is that we can all join forces to work against that, instead of working against the people who are cleaning up the aftermath of this animal-overpopulation epidemic. Instead of criticizing the shelter and its staff, we can save animals by volunteering, fostering, and donating to the county shelter. Please join us in standing with Dr. Jennifer Federico.
