Poverty and homelessness are symptoms of a failed society. a society which favors the elite while it marginalizes the people. What we are seeing now, growing numbers of people struggling to survive in a society that devalues their humanity, is shameful.

Many Hawai'i families live paycheck-to-paycheck on the razor edge that divides "making it" from homeless poverty. That's a dismal and frightening existence yet its the reality for many of our families.

Hawai'i's government is only concerned with the "bad image" of poverty and homelessness and its negative impact on a tourist industry that touts Hawai'i as "paradise".

Poverty and homelessness are nonexistent in the Hawaiian Kingdom because our society is structured so everyone has access to the basic necessities of life. We are on the verge of restoring the Hawaiian Kingdom and with it the health, welfare, prosperity and wellbeing of our people. Help is coming... onipa'a (remain steadfast)!
