As a Millennial, I’m experiencing ptsd from the trauma of the 2008 recession. I was poor, young and exploited to serve people food for tips.
It was serving food or stripping. I served food and a few co-workers went on to strip. We were also stuck in abusive relationships. No one wanted to pay a living wage to a young Woman of Color in California.
The patriarchy/Congress takes advantage of women & kids, while they create the problems that starve, unhouse and exploit us.
Look at how they treat our Foster Youth.
US needs #SocialSafetyNets NOT war or weapons.

Biden Administration & Republicans are upholding this status quo.
