Awake Goy Sunwoo added:
Nearly 600 billion dollars in military spending denies food from the mouths of infants and children everyday. It takes medicine and treatment away from the sick every minute in this country. It vanishes disabled folks into the shadows. It warehouses our seniors and elders instead of celebrating and supporting them. It takes away our public services- free media, libraries, public parks. It closes our schools. We are feeling these effects everyday in our lives.
I want to ask Feinstein to sit down and have a roundtable with trans women of color about an existential crisis, because she will learn from them that everyday, they face a lethal dose of policing, misogyny, a lack of opportunities for meaningful work, and that is being administered everyday without so much as a whisper from Feinstein. Everyday, we build peace despite the state violence that shows up as over-policing, racial profiling, police brutality, extrajudicial murders. When will you talk about the existential crisis facing indigenous people here? When will you talk about the existential crisis facing Black people here? poor people here? When will you actually look at the crisis we are in here?
