It's great the tides are turning. Even if only incrementally. I just wish my friend and brother-in-social-justice David Mott were here to see it through. But I know he is now going to watch over us from above. #FightPovertyNotThePoor #ForwardTogetherForever #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Not only is needing money a factor, @businessinsider.com , but this job also provides on-site residence, so she literally works to have a place to live, as my parents lost their house of about 22 yrs, my childhood home, about 17 yrs ago.

I think I know what he really means. trump is talking about getting rid of the drip drip, aka trickle down. Which never really was, but now it can't even be that since this admin has welded the taps shut, no more welfare for those who need, as trump and ilk see it. #FightPovertyNotThePoor
Please help. Every dollar counts. This is for Linnell, who does amazing work for communities in Baltimore; and for her disabled son, who can't live on his own; and for her 9-year old granddaughter, Maryland #PoorPeoplesCampaign 's youngest member.

I love how FDR included recreation. He understood we must be able to thrive not just survive.
Unfortunately soon after he passed, we dropped 2 evils upon Japan, forever changing the battlefield, & the MIC crept in, despite Ike, quashing our hopes. #FightPovertyNotThePoor #FightPovertyNotOurSeniors

A graphic with the PPC logo at the top and black text on a yellow background. A hooded skeleton with a scythe is by the headline, "Terrible ways the Congressional Budget causes harm." Text reads, "The GOP's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich since chattel slavery. Here is one of the worst things about it. It terrorizes immigrant families. The GOP budget provides $170 billion to arrest, detain, deport, and wall off migrants. That includes $45 billion for new immigration detention centers, including family detention facilities — a vast increase that will primarily benefit private companies contracted to build and run them.

Text reads, "The GOP's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich since chattel slavery. Here is one of the worst things about it. It takes from the poor to give to the rich. The bill’s tax policies will overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest households. A Yale analysis of the bill’s combined tax and spending policies finds that the poorest 20 percent of households will suffer a net income loss of $700 per year on average, while the top 1 percent will get a $30,000 increase.
