“Women are leading the fight in the interests of all society. In the age of A.I. and robotic production, marginalized and dispossessed women are leading a growing movement of people who cannot live in this economic system. They are demanding the government provide the basic necessities of life. Poor People’s Campaigns are prioritizing the needs of humanity, the Earth, justice and ending racism. Empowering the marginalized as a force to reconstruct society means political education that moves us from moments of resistance to a movement for freedom from neglect, violence and economic insecurity.”
• Ethel Long-Scott, Women’s Economic Agenda Project, Oakland, CA
