As FDR said, progress is not about adding more to the abundance of those who have much, but about providing enough for those who have too little. This is the progress for which the Maryland Poor People's Campaign fights. Join us! #MDPPC #FDR #Progress #Democracy #Justice

We're saddened by the passing of Rev Annie Chambers of the #PoorPeoplesCampaign. She led w/fortitude, holy strength, & moral courage in Baltimore. She stood boldly for affordable housing, decent living conditions, & human dignity— she understood housing is not just a policy issue but a moral issue.

Because of #unions, I have had enjoyed a #livingwage, #healthcare, and a viable #pension. But the US is #1 in personal bankruptcies, gun-related deaths, and #homelessness & incarceration rates. The #PoorPeoplesCampaign addresses these issues head-on—and that's why I'm involved. - Matthew in Bowie

In a 1981 episode of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood," young Jeff Erlanger visited Mr. Rogers to discuss what it's like to be disabled. 45 yrs later, society still struggles to grasp that we need to support each other; in Maryland, @govwesmoore.bsky.social is set to cut millions of $$$ from at-home care.

Expiring ACA tax credits put 22 million Americans at risk of major hikes to their health insurance premiums; without subsidies, average costs could rise sharply/double. The Senate may hold a vote on extending these tax credits as early as the week of Dec 8.

The #PoorPeoplesCampaign principles state "the need to organize at the state and local level," so it's important that people vote at the local level; this year, the city of Gaithersburg has an election this coming Tuesday, November 4, for the Mayoral race and 2 City Council seats.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
