13 million children are hungry in America. Yet most politicians do not even talk about it. Children aren’t old enough to vote, nor old enough to work therefore they have no financial leverage. They’re not old enough to advocate for themselves. That’s our job.

The political establishment has simply normalized the despair of millions of American children who are chronically traumatized by poverty, hunger, and all manner of violence. This is what happens when government becomes more an instrument of corporate profits then of conscience.

The vulnerabilities, challenges and chronic trauma of millions of American children should be recognized as a social justice issue. An economic system with no particular use for children - or for older people - has left both groups underserved.

This country shouldn’t be run like a business, it should be run like a family. First we should take care of our children & older people, making sure they have everything they need to thrive. Everything else would then heal itself from there. Moral repair precedes societal repair.

Universal basic income will help eliminate this enable the reduction of food deserts and reduce overall citizen stresses.

Spot on, @marwilliamson ! Our govt doesn’t prioritize, feeding and educating children because if children had their needs met, felt safe and loved learning, our prison industrial complex would not be so profitable. #Marianne2020

I’m hungry, and I’m 46. What about the hungry men in the prime of their lives that are too lazy to go shopping? Always it’s gotta be “think of the children.”
