Maybe we should fix this
Too many older adults are living in poverty, facing homelessness, having very little to no savings.
The meager amounts of Social Security does not cover living expenses, including large medical bills.We need to take care of older people.#FixTheSystemhttps://t.co/DWDgSKr94p

Shameful
It’s a crime, a failure of society how people are being treated outside Roosevelt hotel in nyc right now. I’m going back in a bit to try to hand out food, water, n95 masks. pic.twitter.com/uUKSFSXl2W

Oh man
“I used to dream of coming to New York, but now my big dream is to take a shower.” Migrants are confronting NYC’s affordable housing crisis & a broken shelter system. Mutual aid groups support asylum-seekers where the city has failed.https://t.co/mlaA9p1zkj
