Lived experience will never be captured in AI. Every word and thought that Donald and I shared was a representation of real life experiences on the 2026 National Vehicle Residency Summit today. Stitch joined us to listen live and gave our presentation two shaka’s for being realistic, authentic and educational. Donald is a super colleague and we hugged after for keeping our nerves under control! I’ll post when the recording goes up on YouTube.

In the two years since the Grants Pass decision to criminalize homelessness, over 350 cities and 14 states have criminalized homelessness. The ripple effects of this decision have been devastating.

And Maui cannot find the path to even on parking program for 20 people. Make peace with how short life is. Try to stay around people who are kind because there are way too many greedy people out to profit off of misery and desperation.

I think today’s meeting in County Council would’ve been easier if they held my arms and legs and just punched me in the stomach, at least then I would understand the actual physical pain and nauseous I am experiencing. After spending years to coordinate a safe parking program for just 20 spots which had all the components for success through community base leadership, to listen to the new director of human concerns describe an entirely new project on flooded land without community input and try and package it as the original safe parking project is nauseating. To think a security guard is the “expert” and the personal experiences of willfully omitted when offered is another level of bureaucracy intended to delay and harm. This is what occupation looks like.

Four years in the making...these two mana wahines have dedicated their lives to creating safe pathways out of living houseless. Hear their challenges; knowing we have the capacity to remove all of these barriers. May this historic contested case hearing be the path forward to instruct new policies and procedures. Deep bow. We are extremely hopeful the county will honor due process.

Watching hurricane rip through Florida & other states. Stop blaming people living houseless. Restructure the systems so people remain safe for as long as needed. It going to take everyone, not just those affected. NOW.

Hawai‘i Appleseed is looking to recruit for interviews individuals who have received citations for minor traffic violations, such as:
• Jaywalking;
• Parking violations;
• Equipment violations (e.g., broken tail lights, tinted windows);
• Administrative violations (e.g., expired license); and
• Minor moving violations (e.g., failure to signal when changing lanes in light traffic).

Our goal is to gain a more nuanced understanding of their experiences, including the emotional, social, and economic impacts of traffic citations.

The interviews will be conducted one-on-one, either virtually or in-person at our office downtown, depending on the interviewee’s preference. Each interview will last between 30 minutes to one hour. Participants will receive a Visa gift card to compensate for their time and insights.

If you know individuals who might be interested in participating, please feel free to share this opportunity with them. If you or someone you know is interested in participating, reach out to Abbey Seitz, our Director of Transportation Equity, directly at [email protected].

Mahalo in advance for your support. Your assistance is invaluable in helping us gather insights that could inform future traffic enforcement policies and practices.
