This will mean many more families living in their cars, not knowing how to feed their children, drowning in despair for no other reason than that our system has completely betrayed them.

Just a reminder as we head over the cliff: If unemployment benefits go away completely, more than 30 million Americans will see an income cut of between 50 percent and 75 percent -- virtually overnight

Try coming to California, where #AB5 stripped millions of #freelancers of their entire livelihoods & human dignity on Jan 1 and who have been BEGGING for its suspension during the pandemic - @GavinNewsom and @LorenaAD80 just laugh in their faces saying "those weren't real jobs."

You have just described EXACTLY what millions of #freelance writers, artists, translators, coders, tutors, and 300 other professions have been experiencing since the beginning of the year in California, before #COVID even started...all because of @LorenaSGonzalez and #AB5.

@march4progress @JStein_WaPo It will also mean Trump created low income housing in all the suburbs 😉

Drowning in despair, becoming more angry, more restless, more emotionally strained, less likely to stay healthy. WE can only go forward if WE are ONE.

Without addresses, the Human Beings living on the streets and in their cars may be purged from the voting rolls. Time to strategize. We may be wasting energy trying to push through the gov't. Perhaps community groups may work better.
