@mutualaid My friend ended up getting kicked out and had their food thrown away bcuz their relatives didn't consider it "real food". If you could give anything to help them get back their room, it'd be a great help. It's the only place they've been able to secure, but their roommate losing their job this past winter made things harder for them financially. @seelpah/$SeelpahC (please, include 🏘️ in memo). #MutualAid#MutualAidRequest#eviction#TransCrowdfund#lgbtq#Trans#Nonbinary#poverty
Ah, #capitalism. Neoclasical (mainstream) economic theory tells us it ensures resources will be put to the best, most efficient use. However, ignores the obvious: wealth equals power, so that what is "best" for society is what the richest value.
Like chasing everlasting youth by getting weekly blood transfusions from your teenage son and $40,000 gym membership add-ons.
the #UK🇬🇧 is now the #homelessness capital of the world, with the number of people without homes rising rapidly, well beyond ANY OTHER DEVELOPED NATION IN THE WORLD
"Most of the belongings, such as clothing, makeup and blankets, could be replaced in time. But she panicked when she realized that her dentures, acquired after months of dental appointments, were also gone."
just a reminder that poverty is always relative to the amounts of wealth and resources hoarded by the oligarchy, not by whatever material possessions are owned by the poor.
.. launched by students to save groceries from the landfill. They’re helping to cut food bills & climate emissions.
"a lot of produce doesn’t make it to grocery store shelves when fruits and vegetables are considered to be misshapen, not the right size or slightly damaged.
.... the problem of oversupply, when too much of one food item is grown or distributed and doesn’t match market demand"- it is dumped!!
70 yrs after #SCOTUS delivered its landmark decision outlawing school segregation, #BrownVBoardOfEducation ranks as perhaps the court’s most venerated decision….
Most everything else related to the decision…is complex.
Nearly 7/10 Americans say more should be done to integrate schools…a figure that has steadily climbed from 30% in 1973….But a deeper look into the views of both Black & White people shows skepticism about the success of #Brown….
Because of #Brown, #school ofcls may no longer deliberately separate students by #race —but under more recent #SCOTUS orders, they aren’t allowed to deliberately mix them by race either. #Integration advocates today have stopped looking to the #federal courts for help & are pursuing #state lawsuits instead.…some #Black leaders have concluded that the answer is not integration…but more #money & #opportunity for high #poverty#schools….
Is anyone surprised that the GOP dominated House Agriculture Committee proposed devastating cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/CalFresh, aka foodstamps) in the upcoming Farm Bill?
There's a campaign to reach out to your Congressperson and Senators asking them to reverse this abominable act - and the San Francisco-Marin Foodbank has an online letter to let you do that (I've tested it - it works no matter where you live)
@mutualaid The urgency cannot be overstateed as rent which is due in a week. Please, include 🏘️ in memo so I know where this goes. They've already dealt with eviction threats in the past and they can't deal with this again. Venmo/PayPal: @seelpah / CashApp: $SeelpahC
