“The revolution starts in the heart, spreads to the mind, and is highly contagious. Once you get it, it never goes away. The only cure is social change. Welcome to the revolution.” — Mike Zint, homeless activist
“They are eating gold dust covered chocolates at Oscar pre-parties in a city where thousands sleep in the street.” — Matt Sedillo, poet
Asked if he was a socialist, Carl Sagan, the renowned scientist and author, and opponent of the nuclear arms race (who died in 1996,) replied, “I believe the government has a responsibility to care for the people . . . the US chooses not to do this. This country has vast wealth . . .”

They will be run in the interests of the public. Goods will be distributed to all who need them. This is socialism. It is a step toward a whole new society where everyone enjoys health, fulfilling lives.”  — The People’s Tribune
