Oct. 17 is the International Day to Eradicate Poverty. The Green Party recognizes that all people have a right to food, housing, medical care, jobs that pay a living wage, education, and support in times of hardship. The US should slash its military budget by at least 50% and redirect the funds to meeting human needs at home and abroad.
Poverty is an affront to human dignity & a denial of human rights.
We must eradicate poverty & confront the inequalities & injustices that perpetuate it.
The resources & knowledge exist. Let’s mobilize the political will & investments needed to ensure everyone can build a life free from poverty.
