Raise Up Hawaiʻi demands higher minimum wage

Chris Molina, of social-justice group Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center fro Law & Economic Justice, said raising the wage is “a no-brainer.”

“A lot of us say that one job should be enough for someone,” Molina said. “They shouldn’t have to work three or four jobs, just to make a living.”

Molina claimed an increased minimum wage would not only put food on families’ tables but put money in their pockets for spending at local businesses.

“Happy workers, good business,” Molina said.
