Once again, welfare recipients are beingtreated as the scapegoats for
the National Republican Party’s campaign to shred the safety net put in
place for all of us by the New Deal and the Great Society. The spreading
of misinformation, regarding President Obama rescinding the work
requirement in the Welfare Reform of the 90`s is intended to further
incur resentment of people living in poverty by the unemployed,
underemployed and the average tax payer while both parties intend to
enforce even further cuts on the poor.
On Saturday, September 15^th , Human Rights City Boston & Beyond will
cosponsor a forum on the State of the Safety Net, focusing on the human
rights stated in the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights:”
spearheaded by Eleanor Roosevelt and adopted by the United Nations.
The challenges facing Bostonare complex but tackling an ailing system
requires pooling our resources, ideas and effort with a common
framework. Saturday's forum is an opportunity for the wider Boston
community and social/economic justice organizations to build and
implement a human rights frameworkCommunity groups, legal organizations
and the people affected by punitive policies,will come together totalk
and listen to each other and find solutions to achieve Human Rights for
All.
