Housing should be accessible to all locals. We believe home is a basic need and a relationship, not a product, and that people and communities deserve to stay rooted. By investing in land trusts and other community management models, we can make this a reality. No more locals moving away, and no more fake "affordable" housing. Tenants should be protected, homeowners should be supported, and our communities equipped with disaster preparedness in our changing conditions and climate. We are committed to the retention of Hawaiian lands to Kānaka Maoli and any public trust uses which include the provision of housing.

Policy: Propose legislation that would strengthen regulations preventing the development of “monster houses”.

Propose legislation that would tax non-owner occupied second homes valued at over 4 million, which would ease property taxes on most local residents. 

Our communities deserve to live free from fear. Truly safe streets, school zones, parks, and public spaces come from intentional care and resources. By supporting investments in education, community programs, social work, health services and trauma-informed practices, we will tackle the root causes of crime. We are committed to fearlessly organizing against abuses by ICE and corruption from the current administration.

Policy: Propose legislative funding for mobile crisis response centers and permanent supportive housing to address chronic houselessness and reduce taxpayer costs. 

Aloha ʻĀina has a range of definitions, but we know historically that life here can only truly thrive when we are taking care of the land as family and respecting it as an ancestor. We will prioritize policy that centers ʻĀina, and improving our mutual relationship with the land, such as supporting our farmers and local agricultural sector, environmental restoration, and facilitating access to healthy and culturally appropriate foods. Human needs are human rights, and so are the rights of the life of the ʻĀina. That's why we are focused on ensuring essentials like food sustainability and clean water infrastructure are met across the islands for generations to come.

Policy: Propose legislation that would strengthen legal rights protecting Hawaiʻi’s water cycle systems, aquifers, land, and air from pollution and desecration. 

Investing in our keiki and cherishing our kūpuna is a sign of a thriving society with Aloha at its heart. We absolutely believe Hawaiʻi can ensure affordable care to everyone from keiki to kūpuna. Through smart financial policy that prioritizes early childhood and elder care, we can create a system that provides free keiki and kūpuna care for everyone in Hawaiʻi.

Policy: Propose the allocation of state funding for seniors' care, provided by targeted investments set aside from a general fund. This is modeled after New Mexico’s successful universal childcare program. 

A functional government is one that truly serves and provides decision-making power to the people, who understand their needs and neighbors best and prioritize their own care and wellbeing. The structure of a people-centered government should prioritize participation of local residents, incentivize integrity of leadership, and create a diverse and justice-oriented environment. We want to commit to keeping corporate big money interests out of our policy and end pay-to-play politics that prioritize the most wealthy over the needs of everyone else.

Policy: Propose statewide participatory budgeting programs, where residents decide how state funding is allocated in their communities.
