I am about to become a low-income organizer, on my own...
and I need support.
I need moral support, and I need to know about resources.
I have no organization, I just have myself and my righteous anger.
I am tired of being pushed around and taking it!
Are there any other low-income people on DU who are either organizing, or who are outraged?
What organizations do you know of that are raising hell for older, low-income folk?
I have for years been out in the streets for Black Lives, LBGTQ, low-wage retail workers, the Earth, the animals, and all of that was and is right for me to do. And I will continue to do it. One does not exclude the other.
But now I want to organize for low-income people, particularly, but not exclusively, elders.
I am really interested in hearing from low-income people, not from middle-class people with good intentions.
Are there any on here?
I don't know anyone like me. I know lots of middle-class people who are progressive. I know lots of poor people who complain a lot.
I'm not saying all poor people only complain; clearly a lot do a lot more. I just don't know any.
thanks

TRANSLATION: I'm going to stand on a street corner and scream until society gives me what I want and then I'll stand on the street corner some more and keep screaming to tell them how much they suck.

The primitive wants to 'organize' other 'low income' people- to do what, exactly?
Certainly not to work.

If only you'd spent that time gaining, honing, and then selling some marketable skills, perhaps you wouldn't be poor now.
Dumbshit.

It's never their own fault, somebody/something is always "against" them, preventing them from getting what they need/ want. They never can figure out the "someone/something" holding them back is staring back at them from the mirror.

She needs to concentrate on the "Black Flies Matter" movement.

If a republican gets elected in 16, the plight of the seniors and homeless is going to again be front page. Inflation and ZIRP has done great damage to the seniors under Preznint Obama. Food, energy, daily consumables have skyrocketed under the economic genius of King Barky the Liar of Fecal Touch.
Basic rule is that whatever a leftist says they will accomplish the opposite.
