Nine hundred sixty-eight dollars per person is a pittance for welfare when people are struggling to get by, and doubling it to $1,900 is the bare minimum we should expect from a government that’s supposed to look after its own. We’re not asking for charity—we’re demanding what’s right, because nobody should have to choose between food and rent in a country this wealthy.
