No one should have to involuntarily risk their life in order to go to work. What do we pay taxes for if not to protect people at such a time as this? Our government gave trillions in tax breaks to those who don’t need it, yet now will give so little to people who need it badly.

Wait a second, how do we know being on lockdown & not working is less dangerous than not doing that? Seems the numbers for the pandemic are thank god so low that isn't it time to rethink what we are doing? We need #UBI but people should be allowed to work not be forced 2 lockdown

When did government become the funder of corporations? That's not free market capitalism.

In the ‘80’s and 90’s mainly. Big Pharma for instance spent $280M lobbying Congress last year. Companies don’t spend that kind of money expecting nothing in return.

Marianne I just want to let you know that you could be louder and we would like it. You could write op-eds and do interviews on news shows. I’d really like to see your message from the campaign continue to grow. ✨🙏🏼

News shows interview you when you’re a candidate. Once you’re not a candidate, your voice by definition gets less exposure. That’s the reason to support candidates in the first place.

I couldn't have said it better myself. There needs to be more help for people who need it.
