im talking about this here because i need to let this off my chest. but i went into a trade program for lower incomes. and today, without any warning, we were cut off. the entire program was shutdown NATIONWIDE. leaving so many people without some sort of income, or homeless, or forced to return home to abusive households that they were trying to escape. there are so many people who lost so much in ONE DAY. please understand that so many people are now left with nothing. this was a trade program for people who wanted to LEAVE POVERTY AND ENTER FIELDS WHERE THEY HAD A CHANCE!! and today it was STOLEN. and then to add insult to injury. staff members who are going to LOSE THEIR JOBS. are still stuck there for two more weeks while being forced to find something else in such a short notice. no one. and i mean NO ONE. was given a proper fair warning. please dont leave us to be forgotten.
i dont want to beat around the bush. please help if you can. these are people's lives being dangled around like they're disposable.
please contact your elected officials. post about it. call them. anything so that this isn't swept under the rug.
this current petition is currently at 202 signatures. its not a lot but each one counts. each one gives them a chance.
even if you dont like job corps. even if you never heard of it. people deserve to have a chance with this program if they want it. not have it snatched away from them and to be left with nothing. please spread the word of this at the very least.
