#AiKea members are at Honolulu City Council, getting ready to testify in support of Bill 85 to protect our affordable housing! #cchnl #hawaii #honolulu #hinews

Good news! Bill 85 passed out of the Honolulu City Council Planning Committee today, bringing us one step closer to enforcing vacation rentals and protecting our affordable housing. #aikea #aoleairbnb #fairbnb #sharebetter #cchnl #hinews

Tonight isn’t just a win for @tommywaters, it’s a win for Kirk Caldwell, AiKea Movement and many other supporters who bet against Trevor Ozawa. But given the bitter rivalry — and 1,004-vote margin —something tells me this won’t be their last race. civilbeat.org/2019/04/waters… #HInews

Ala Moana Hotel worker/Local 5 member Gina Alcos: We’ve worked hard to earn the wages we now make. Vacation rental companies have forced our folks to get laid off, and then take minimum wage jobs cleaning your vacation rentals. “You’ve taken jobs from us.” #cchnl
