The Hawaiʻi Life in the Time of COVID-19 Project is designed to engage our Hawaiʻi communities in examining, articulating and sharing the impacts of COVID-19 upon our Hawaiʻi island ways of life, livelihoods, health, families, communities, education, values and outlooks for the future.
Would you like to participate in this project? We welcome your stories or reflections in any form. You can request to be interviewed or self-record your own audio or video oral history; share photos from your journal/diary entries or daily life; or submit poetry, mele, or other art you may be creating while staying at home and practicing social distancing.
We have designed this project so that our community can reflect upon, share, and document their experiences; acknowledge significant events; honor courageous acts and selfless sacrifices; and help to understand social and economic trends as they unfold.
It is important to document this island-wide and global health crisis in real time, track how to effectively and respectfully respond to it, map pathways of recovery, and project lessons on how to prepare and respond to future pandemics.
The Center for Oral History (COH) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is uniquely situated to provide an established and long-term platform for our Hawaiʻi families and communities to record their experiences living and working through this pandemic, drawing upon our cultural values and legacies.

Info for:
Your landlord cannot change the locks or otherwise lock you out of your rental unit without a court order, even if you have not paid your rent. A landlord is subject to paying you damages of up to 2 months rent, costs, and attorney fees if the landlord is found to have illegally locked out a tenant.
When the State Court moratorium on evictions ends (as of now May 29), if you cannot pay your rent, then you would be subject to an eviction if the Landlord gives you 5 business days notice of non-payment unless you qualify under the Federal moratorium protection, you would have 30 day notice for non-payment, that cannot be sent until at least July 26, 2020.
Federal Moratorium Protection: The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have created online multifamily property lookup tools to help renters find out if they are protected from evictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The tools allow renters to determine if the property they live in is included in the eviction moratorium under the CARES Act.

In working towards the vision of building a just society; we want to first help make the legal system a little less intimidating by providing easy to understand legal forms and brochures, including online forms that people can use when they go to court. Second, we help people help themselves by providing legal assistance so people can better know their rights and know how to solve their legal problems. Finally, we try to level the playing field by providing legal representation to those that need it the most.

TL;DR: "Re-opening" isn't about saving ordinary workers and earners. You can't save someone by infecting them with a deadly disease. "Re-opening" is about saving investors. These people are willing to risk workers' lives and shoppers' lives because they believe they do not have a shared microbial destiny with the rest of us. But the vast majority of Americans think re-opening is a bad idea. Ass a result, Texas, Ohio, Iowa all have snitchlines for bosses who want to punish mulish, uncooperative workers who think their job isn't worth their lives. If the won't go back go back to worK, their unemployment will be denied.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents unique challenges for people with substance use disorders and in recovery. The following resources may help.Including the following:
This coronavirus pandemic will certainly be a difficult time for everyone, but there are reasons why those of us in recovery or those struggling with drug and alcohol use may have a particularly difficult time.
We’re a group of folks who may seem difficult to characterize at first. While we thrive on human interaction, we’re also people who like to isolate, especially when we’re active in our addiction or experiencing uncomfortable feelings. And what’s more uncomfortable than being socially isolated while there’s an illness we don’t know much about impacting people across the globe? These issues of uncertainty around work, school, and family issues – when will we get to go back to school, how will we manage with “social distancing” that may keep us in a house with family members who are not supportive of our recovery? For those still struggling with drugs and alcohol, how will our body react without the substances? Is withdrawal likely? And for everyone – where do we turn to find the support we used to get from AA, NA, Al-anon, other types of recovery meetings, therapists, houses of worship and other resources?

Aside from the economic impact of so many of Hawaii’s people losing work because tourism gets shut down, Hawaii’s dependence on tourism has had a much more significant impact—it has emboldened the entitled to use it as their playground and quarantine getaway, with very little regard for its people.
