Founding Board Member, Young Progressives Demanding Action

Will grew up in Kahaluʻu and earned a BA in fine art from the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa. Will is a founding board member of Young Progressives Demanding Action, an organization of young people dedicated to building a just, equitable and sustainable Hawaiʻi.

Since graduating, Will has worked at several low-wage jobs, including as a busser in a restaurant and as a contractor in the gig economy. He observes:

There’s a lot of inequality in the system that we have set up right now. It’s as plain as day that the inequity between the highest one percent and the bottom—working poor people—is much too large of a gap, and we need to do something about that.
