If it is OK to solve the debt ceiling crisis out the pockets of the poor, it is OK to pay a living wage, Provide Healthcare, and affordable housing out of the pockets of the under taxed, uber wealthy. #PoorPeoplesCampaign #

“I often skipped meals with my husband, or he would eat one day, and I would eat the next. This isn’t the America I want for my children.” No one should have to sacrifice their health to survive. #MoralPovertyActionCongress klkntv.com/hastings-woman-sh…

The @MichiganPPC is one of 30+ state groups joining together at the #MoralPovertyActionCongress to end the death sentence of poverty in America. Mobilizing and organizing together, we won’t be silent anymore. fox2detroit.com/news/activis…

Activists, advocates fight to end 'death by poverty'

While women of color and children are disproportionately impacted by poverty - this is something that cuts across racial and political lines.

“We let the expanded child tax credit expire. We’re kicking people off Medicaid by the thousands. We solved a purported debt ceiling crisis on the backs of the poor. We must call these decisions what they are: murder by policy.” — @revdrbarber and @liztheo religionnews.com/2023/06/20/…

Poverty is a lethal epidemic. It’s time to address it.

(RNS) — Politicians who fail to act are complicit in the deaths of thousands.
