We don’t think that is the government job to take care of everyone, but it’s their job to try to help those who need it, to give opportunities to those who really want to be someone in life. Also, what they have to do is build more places like shelters, schools, etc, where people can be able to get an education. Some way we could help in shelters is donating food, clothes, and sometimes even going to the shelters to help people with the things we are able to. We all have rights and they should respect that it doesn’t matter if we are poor or rich we deserve to be treat the same. How they say in the WEAP “The Women Economics Agenda Project is diligently working to organize the poor, low-income workers, and unemployed into a movement to achieve a vision of a world without poverty and despair, a world that Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of in his Poor People's Campaign of 1968. We boldly demand that the United States uphold its 1948 signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which declares every person has the right to food, housing, education, communication, health care, and a living wage job. Our voices are heard loudly from Oakland to Pennsylvania, and from New York to Louisiana. We are committed to using every possible opportunity to give voice to the plight of poor women, low-income families, and all of our community supporters. For the past 26 years, we have been fighting for the basic human right to live with decency and dignity.” http://weap.org/news/2/17/Welcome.htm
