It’s a really volunteer, grass-roots driven effort. It’s by and large a younger set of volunteers, in their 20s and 30s, who really believe in the fundamental principle of democracy – that everybody ought to have an equal voice in it and equal power to shape the future of our government. And that promise has really rung hollow for a long time … The only way to restore that is to get out and start to re-engage ourselves and each other in political life. It has to start there or it’s not going to happen.
James Koshiba, executive director of Kanu Hawaii, explaining the group’s door-to-door, person-to-person efforts to increase voter participation in the state.
