ITEP Work in Action“THE HAWAI‘I APPLESEED CENTER for Law and Economic Justice has compiled this report to illustrate the crisis facing those living in poverty in Hawai‘i and who are suffering severely as they bear the heaviest burden of the recession. We also propose solutions to address the crisis by increasing revenue and implementing policies that strengthen our community. Hawai‘i must take immediate, substantive action to prevent its residents from being driven into poverty and languishing there for generations.”
