“The emancipation of the working class will only be achieved by the working class itself.”

Hundreds of Washington, D.C. renters stood in line in November to apply for help paying their rent. But the city cut that funding in half this year and will cut even more next year.
At the same time the area sees 164 evictions per month on average, as we head into winter. In nearby Prince George’s County, 5,000 vouchers will be issued, when there are many more than 5,000 households who need Section 8 housing, the program that adjusts the rent according to a person’s income. In nearby Montgomery County, with one of the highest average incomes in the country, homelessness doubled last year.
Here’s the reality of the bosses’ policies toward working people. We can barely put a roof over our heads and food in the kids’ mouths.
