I’ve been evicted before. It was March 2014. Slept on a friends couch for months. I couldn’t find a place to stay.
Every apartment asked if there was an eviction on my record. My applications were denied. I lost money on the application fees. #EvictionCrisis
I was 24 years old. I worked full time as a pharmacy tech and no place to live. After months of going thru the cycle of applying for an apartment and getting denied, I finally got approved for a place.
So I’m currently in line to vote absentee. The woman behind me says she just got out the hospital after having her 3rd heart attack this year.
She needs a chair and they give her one she needs to carry with her.
Obviously we aren’t having it. So I switch her chair for one from the computer lab (voting place is a library) that has wheels.
She’s too fragile to carry a heavy chair around this library for an hour.

Castro dropping out isn’t just “another candidate of color being out of the race”
His analysis of RACE & HOW it created different lived experiences & outcomes was so important.
Billionaires are buying this race while the candidates visiting the poor & unhoused are forced out
He launched his campaign in Puerto Rico, crossed the border to help asylum seekers in Mexico, visited SKID row in LA, spoke with men currently being held for high bail amounts in DC.
