👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Reposted from @egyptsherrod - ***UPDATE*** By request I have set up a Go Fund Me page so that TOGETHER we can help more furloughed workers. The link is in my bio line above. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Let’s do this! Donate what you can and repost the link and video. I have already started receiving letters. #ShutdownChallenge Listen...... it horrifies me that our lawmakers are playing Russian roulette with people’s real lives. Rent is due, refrigerators are bare, people are scared, yet still required to show up for work unpaid. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. An American workers check should never be a bargaining tool. And NO, throwing a garage sale is not an option! 😡 It feels like at this point ALL WE GOT IS US. And by “US” I mean compassionate, sensible folks who recognize that at the end of the day it doesn’t matter what political party you are in. What matters is that there may be families who go hungry this week, and who are put out on the street by the end of the month. WE THE PEOPLE cannot allow that to happen. I PLEDGE TO START PAYING BILLS OF FURLOUGHED GOVERNMENT WORKERS. Email proof of your furlough and copies of your bills to [email protected]. Do what you can.... that’s all I ask. And please tag everyone you know who has a heart and can rub two dollars together so that they’ll pass this on. This is not a challenge to embarrass anyone or put anyone on the spot. It is an effort to mobilize and take action. Let’s show our government how grown ups take charge! #shutdownstories #governmentshutdown #takeastand #AmericanPeople #bipartisan *********************@badgalriri @diddy @theellenshow @tonyrobbins @pitbull @tamronhall @oprah @beyonce @donlemoncnn @robinrobertsgma @hodakotb @klgandhoda @iamsteveharveytv @neneleakes @naacpimageawards @thesharkdaymond @anthonyanderson @trevornoah @johnlegend @jadapinkettsmith @willsmith @willpowerpacker @williemoorejrlive @cthagod @realrickeysmiley @floydmayweather @realjohngray @realdlhughley @flyjocktomjoyner @dedeinthemorning @katyperry @annehathaway @cher @joyvbehar @xonecole @whoopigoldberg @therealeve @usher @mrsilverscott @mrdrewscott @bromco @michaelstrahan @shaunking @and tag anyone else you deem nec https://www.instagram.com/p/Bss183lg5_D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5n36427pddj4
