Sign the Stay Movement Pledge

We pledge to stay focused, stay informed, and stay active.
We pledge to support workforce housing, so we can stay.
We pledge to take a stand, so we can stay.

So we can stay with our families,
stay where we’re from,
and stay where we belong.

We are the Stay Movement.

Why Stay?

What will the Stay Movement do?

  • The Stay Movement will rally 5,000+ people to endorse a pledge in support of workforce housing.

  • The Stay Movement will highlight the workforce housing issue and its effects on the next generation.

  • The Stay Movement will serve as a platform for future civic engagement.

Why a pledge?

  • Signing a pledge is a small ask for the next generation who may not have bandwidth for more involved action.

  • A widely endorsed pledge sends a clear message to decision makers that an issue is worthy of attention and resources.

  • Pledge signers can mobilize for direct action.

Why the Stay Movement?

  • Advocacy for workforce housing tends to draw on a narrow base of support. This advocacy is dominated by trade/industry groups which profit from development.

  • Few groups advocate for the economic interests of the next generation. None besides Housing Hawai‘i’s Future has a single-issue focus on housing.

  • There are no other efforts to mobilize a mass movement in favor of workforce housing.
