Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! 💙💙
Today is a good day to reflect on the tragedies of colonialism and white supremacy.
Our country's economic system is *still* benefiting off of a legacy of stolen land and stolen peoples.

And tomorrow, fight for indigenous sovereignty. ... See MoreSee Less

She’s able to afford her own apartment in the borough southeast of Pittsburgh. She sees that as a better environment for her children than subsidized housing on North Side.
But she’s limited by transit. Getting to a food bank is more difficult. And she relies on a network of bus routes to get to work as a home health caregiver.
“I still struggle,” said Evans, 39. “I don’t live in the city of Pittsburgh. I’m not in Homewood, I’m not in East Liberty, I’m not in Garfield, I’m not in Point Breeze or any of the areas where you can get help.” www.publicsource.org/in-the-mon-valley-public-transit-limitations-are-felt-by-residents-whove-lef... ...
