Dear Editors,
Thanks to Tobin Sterritt for the article in the January, 2016 issue of the People’s Tribune, “Former teacher on hunger strike after losing job and home.” An automobile accident can happen to anyone of us but, because the system is run by outlaws, Baxter Jones’s accident resulted in his losing his 22-year teaching position, his benefits, his retirement and, eventually, his house. If Baxter Jones’s experience is an example of how people are abused today, his fight is our fight. We have to support the Baxtor Jones of the world. All of us need to hold accountable employers, pension systems and lending institutions. Let’s join the “Beat Back the Bullies” campaign! Support Baxter Jones and anyone under-valued and overlooked by this society.
~ Janet Sharp, Washington, DC
