Economic Justice Action Committee
“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”
Mission
The Economic Justice Action Committee believes that all people deserve the opportunity to live dignified, productive, and creative lives, regardless of their background. When nearly half of Hawaiʻi’s working families struggle paycheck to paycheck, unable to afford even the basics, our entire economy—and society itself—stalls out, unable to advance toward a brighter collective future. In order to achieve a visionary Hawaiʻi that leaves no one behind, policymakers must invest taxes and other capital back into the communities that need it most, lifting us all from the bottom up.
