Peter Yee and Kanani Elaban of Hawaii Unemployment Updates and Support Group, and Angela Keen of Hawaii Quarantine Kapu Breakers joined Spotlight Hawaii, to talk about how their groups on Facebook are helping others navigate problems brought on by the pandemic.

The Hawaii Unemployment Updates and Support Group has more than 26,000 members, many of whom have been frustrated with the state’s unemployment benefits system, which has been plagued with delays ranging from weeks to months. Keen’s Hawaii Quarantine Kapu Breakers group has nearly 7,000 members, who work in conjunction with law enforcement to catch quarantine violators and enforce the state’s mask mandate.
