“What good is having the right to sit at a lunch counter if you can’t afford to buy a hamburger?” - Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. released The Economic and Social Bill of Rights two months before his death. In it, he called for guaranteed employment, a guaranteed minimum income, the elimination of ‘slums and racialized neighborhoods,’ free quality education, universal healthcare, and a requirement that regular folks have a role in shaping policies.

Guaranteed employment would actually cost us less than incarcerating people, plus it would cut down on crime because people would be busy working. It would no doubt get corrupted, though, because of how our system is set up.
