Everyone is entitled to just live their best life and thrive, yet there are some families who have to think, \u201cAre we going to eat today? Do we have to live outside?\u201d instead of just being able to have food, shelter, and all the things that human beings need. We all love our families. We all love our communities. Unfortunately, some communities have systematically been challenged\u2014placed in positions of poverty and kept from education because of systems and policies that we know need reform. I have a loud, strong voice. But not everyone has that voice, so I try my best to encourage others to know that their voice matters. Your lived experience matters. Fines and fees are a huge barrier for so many people. Women of color, particularly mothers, are usually the most impacted by these economic policies. Often times, people say, \u201cOh, just save.\u201d Or just do this or that, like it\u2019s a magic bullet. But the truth of the matter is, many people make all those efforts, but they\u2019re bombarded by these predatory practices that suck not only every dime that they could possibly save, but the money that they already don\u2019t have in the first place. It\u2019s very important to me to look at these systems and see how we can reform them. Decision-makers have not paid attention and respected our lived experience. In fact, we usually have the solutions. They try to find all these experts\u2026 but we are right here! We know what it takes to change the circumstances. We’re willing to come to the table. As a matter of fact, we should be at every table that is making a decision about us, our children, our families, and our communities. As the saying goes, \u201cthere should be nothing about us without us,\u201d from planning to implementation. \"Five<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
