I think we have to make a decision as a society, as a country and as communities on what we value. We continue to place value on growth, investment and business success to the detriment of people who are just struggling in unimaginable ways. I think as we look over the coming years, if we are going to see more people lose their jobs and more scenarios where people are lining up outside the food banks, we're not building the kind of communities we want.
I would say, from a foundational perspective, continuing to vilify and almost punish the poor for being poor is the way lots of these systems are created. Coming to all of these interventions from the perspective of people having a right to food, housing and health care would take us down a different road. Rather than trying to make sure the wrong people don't get service, we're ensuring that all of our communities get what they need.
