"I absolutely believe that there is no reason in the world that poverty should exist in the United States of America—the richest country in the world. There’s no excuse for it."

Democrats are ready to extend these credits, but it will need some Republican support.

GOP Senators who have expressed openness to extending the tax credits need to hear what impact this will have on their state & our country.

Everyone, call these Senators & share this action.

more at mdppc.org

Expiring ACA tax credits put 22 million Americans at risk of major hikes to their health insurance premiums; without subsidies, average costs could rise sharply/double.

The Senate may hold a vote on extending these tax credits as early as the week of Dec 8.

We ask Gaithersburg residents to review the candidates as published by Bethesda Magazine or progressive sources; and make your choice for whom to vote as you find most fitting to the principles mentioned above. mdppc.org/gburg

#ForwardTogether!

Candidates presented in images reverse-alphabetically

While the PPC is also non-partisan – and thus we cannot endorse specific candidates – our principles remind us we should lift impacted leaders and support issues such as housing justice, food justice, and universal healthcare.

The #PoorPeoplesCampaign principles state "the need to organize at the state and local level," so it's important that people vote at the local level; this year, the city of Gaithersburg has an election this coming Tuesday, November 4, for the Mayoral race and 2 City Council seats.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
