Shocking INSIGHTS from the episode:

182 Cities in the U.S. have laws or ordinances that, in essence, punish poverty as a crime. The issue is affordability and this country is increasingly far less affordable.

150 Million people are near or below

the poverty line. (!!!)

Many families are one paycheck or one emergency from financial disaster and even homelessness.

Now,

the serious lack of affordability in all areas of our economy can make you a felon. Which includes up to six years in prison, a lifetime ban from your voting rights, and extremely limited access to jobs, loans, housing, and many other essential resources.

Please take these concerns to your elected representatives! We have to make a shift.


AND Make sure to see his documentary: HOMESICK
