Red or Blue, the Criminalization of Poverty & #Homelessness is the cruel result of hypercapitalism, cronyism & corruption. We need a #newparty that values HUMAN worth, not economic worth.

It is telling that the most "progressive" states suffer the highest rates of homelessness in the nation per capita. This is neoliberal elitism in action.

California - 161,000 homeless
New York - 91,000 homeless
Washington - 23000 homeless
Massachusetts - 18000 homeless
Oregon - 14500 homeless

The reality is that Neoliberals couldn't care less about the poor. They just use them as talking points for fundraising and photo-ops. They plaster Black & Brown faces all over their propaganda while incarcerating, beating & evicting those same people & ignoring rural America.

GOP & Dems alike IGNORE the poverty, homelessness, opioid addiction and job insecurity in Middle America and Rural America and EXPLOIT urban poverty for their most splashy photo-ops. Lack of #M4A means that mental health, #disability & caregiving lead to economic instability.

The #PeoplesParty stands in #Solidarithy with the American poor, the American workers, the disabled, and the sick and the homeless. The ones forgotten by elitists run by billionaires & oil companies & playboys. We are working people ourselves.

That's what makes us different. We are you. We aren't trying to tell you how you should live your life better, or don't fit up to some GOP or DEM elitist moral code to "deserve" a basic good life for you and your families. You are a human being and that is enough.

We rise up together. We can't afford to follow lies. Millions of us are dying, on the street, depressed, addicted, evicted. So join us. We don't care what your bank account looks like, if you want to be a part of something revolutionary, join the People. peoplesparty.org/volunteer/
