Today, we confront the violence of a system that creates homelessness and hunger while billionaires hoard wealth. Food insecurity and housing displacement aren't accidents, they're tools of the billionaire class designed to keep working people desperate and compliant. When our neighbors lack shelter and sustenance, it's because resources are being extracted upward to line corporate pockets.

Today's Action:

• Visit gtsafeharbor.org and sign up through their volunteer center at https://www.gtsafeharbor.org/volunteer/volunteer-center.html

• Choose shifts that build ongoing relationships, not one-time charity visits

• Listen to the stories and wisdom of unhoused community members, they are experts on survival under capitalism

• Recognize that mutual aid is community self-defense against a system that abandons the most vulnerable

• Connect with other volunteers organizing for housing justice and economic democracy

This isn't charity, it's community self-defense. Every meal served and bed provided is an act of resistance against an economy that prioritizes profit over people. Your grief for those sleeping outside in Michigan winters connects you to the grief of families choosing between rent and groceries, between medication and heat.

When we feed our neighbors, we organize our resistance to a system that creates artificial scarcity while abundance exists. We build the caring community that unregulated capitalism tries to destroy.
