The Issue
Across the #UnitedStates, families like mine are #witnessing the #painfulrepercussions of the current administration’s actions. My neighbors are #disappearing; #individuals are #deprived of #essentialmedications and #medicalhelp. I hear of seniors skipping meals because they cannot afford both food and the medicine they desperately need.
