WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

One In Five

 

We can't afford to stop talking about wealth inequality in our country.  The divide grows wider all the time, and suffering deepens.  A gift we might give ourselves and others is to keep the issue alive and work to change what we can.  I will advocate for reversing Citizens United and work for more restrictive campaign finance laws.  That would be a start at getting to the underbelly of the beast.  Meanwhile, we can speak up and call people out when we hear hateful terms like "welfare queens" or statements that translate to "Poor people are lazy people." What else can we do?  Please leave your thoughts and ideas in a comment.  Solving this shameful problem will take a village—at least.
