Children aren’t old enough to vote, so they’re not a political constituency; they aren’t old enough to work, therefore they have no financial leverage. As a consequence they are treated as little more than collateral damage within a system that thinks business is the bottom line.
In December 2021, child poverty was 12.1 percent. By January 2022, it had increased 4.9 points, to 17 percent.
This is a catastrophe. No child should grow up in poverty. That is the bare minimum in a country as rich as America.

Here's the wrap up from last night's SeizeTheHouse.com. If you haven't watched the whole panel yet, please do. We need to support the candidates who will support the change that so many of us want to see in the world.

If you missed the summit last night, you can watch it now at SeizeTheHouse.com. The candidates were incredible! Thanks to all of you who have donated already and to those of you who still will.

Bastards.
Summer and Harold Hamilton live in an RV there with their 4 kids (including 2-year-old twin boys) and 3 dogs. The city gave them 3 more days to move it before they're towed. That will be hard bc it doesn't run. Summer's dad was towed yesterday, causing her to break down in tears.

No, that’s incorrect. If you watch the videos at seizethehouse.com, you will see the kinds of backgrounds the candidates come from

God help us if this evil logic is ever applied to us.
Andrew Maloney, lawyer representing about 150 relatives of 9/11 attacks, tells the BBC the money is theirs because "The Afghan people did not stand up to the Taliban when they had an opportunity."

I don’t understand what you mean. “Ordinary people” - including teachers! - is exactly who these people are.

Please join tonight's livestream 4-7pm PT and 7-10pm ET. You'll meet some wonderful non-corporate backed candidates who are running in Congressional primaries throughout the country. I talked to Jordan Chariton yesterday about why it matters that we Seize the House.
