Elections: Government must serve the people

 
More grassroots candidates than ever before are running for office. Many put forth a program that “we the people” have a right to food, water, housing, healthcare and all the other necessities of life, and government is obligated to guarantee us these rights.
These electoral campaigns are battlegrounds of ideas. Should the government exist to serve human needs, or should it serve the private interests of billionaires and corporations?
Participating in these elections is an opportunity to educate people and build a powerful movement around the people’s demands. It is an indispensable step on the road to the cooperative society that will stop the destruction of the earth and meet the needs of everyone.
