Fight for Economic Justice
We will no longer allow right-wing politicians and their CEO campaign contributors to destroy the social safety net just to allow themselves another massive tax break. Metro Justice is launching our 7 point program for economic justice and our plan to fight to save the progressive government programs that have helped so many from falling into abject poverty.
