To: The Hawaii State House, The Hawaii State Senate, and Governor David Ige
Give Hawai'i A Minimum Wage We Can Live On!
We would like to have a minimum wage of $15 an hour.
Why is this important?
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.
