Everybody's Got A Right to Live

我贊成每個人,無論你身分、地位、經濟狀況、膚色、國籍、婚姻、性別如何,都有權利得到醫療保健服務,這包括那些還沒有得到合法居留文件、或臨時來訪的人。這裡列出的是Poor People's Campaign(容我暫且翻成「窮困人的鬥爭」)去年提出的所有訴求/口號。

We demand an immediate restoration of the Voting Right Act
We demand an end to racist gerrymandering.
We demand a reversal of state laws that prevent municipalities from raising the minimum wage.
We demand a just immigration system. We demand a timely citizenship process that guarantees everyone the right to vote.

We demand an end to military aggression and warmongaring. We demand a stop to privatization of military budget and any increase in military spending.
We demand a ban on assault riffles and a ban on the easy access of firearms.
We demand an end to federal programs that send military equipment into local and state communities.
We demand that the call to build a wall at the US/Mexico border be ceased.

We demand a ban on fracking, mountaintop removal, coal mining, coal ash ponds, and offshore drilling. We demand a ban on all new pipelines, refineries, and coal, oil and gas export terminals.

We demand an immediate implementation of federal and state living wage laws.
We demand the right for all workers to form and join unions.
We demand equal pay for equal work.
We demand a guaranteed annual income
We demand fully funded anti-poverty programs that protect the walfare of us all.
We demand decent decent decent housing.
We demand free tuition.
We demand equity in education.
We demand an end to resegregation of schools.
We demand equitable funding for historically black colleges and universities.
We demand relief from crushing household, student and consumer debt.
We demand the repeal of the 2017 federal tax law.
And we demand that the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share.

We believe that we can win, we believe that everybody has a right to live.

你感覺怎樣?從個人角度看,肯定不是每個人都需要所有這些訴求。對我來說,除了照顧窮人的基本生活需要,最重要的還有不增加軍費開支,以及投資在環保上,所以我支持這些鬥爭。
