Hawaiʻi is in a housing state of emergency. 1 in 3 families are thinking about leaving the place they call home. With median home prices starting at $1M, our kamaʻāina are being priced out of Hawaiʻi itself. 🧵

The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti are devastating tragedies and absolutely indefensible. We cannot let this spiral into more bloodshed. We need fair, thorough, unbiased investigations with local & state law enforcement fully involved. The truth must come out & people must be held accountable.
Special mahalo to Sheri Daniels of Papa Ola Lōkahi for making her way out to DC to speak with our CAPAC ʻohana about the growing threats to Native Hawaiian trust responsibilities, entitlements, and programs, and why this moment calls for all of us to stay engaged, informed, and ready.

TALK TO THE PEOPLE MAKING THE PLAN. Even if you are aware and highly involved with the work of the Universal Health Plan Governance Board, the process is long, involved, and confusing. Oregon is on track to be the first state to transition to a universal healthcare system, and the time is now.
