Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment
Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days

Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

Why isn’t every member of Congress standing up for these heros against the this criminal regime?!
Call your representatives, jam their phone lines. Let them know they need to do their job.
Make sure the cowards who stay silent are voted out and shamed for the rest of their miserable lives.

💥 Powerful words from Sen. Mark Kelly.
“He’s trying to silence me, but he’s not silencing me. I will do my job every single day whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I’m not going to shut up.”
That is what real courage sounds like.
