Dem Congressional Candidate Proposes Way to Get Congress to Pass Housing Legislation

Washington Democratic congressional candidate Rebecca Parson suggested occupying empty homes to get housing legislation passed in 🏛️Congress.

Parson released a video ad explaining why her plan is going to work.

“You feel it. I feel it. We’re on the edge of collapse. The corporate elite tell us not to worry but what has doing what they told us ever gotten us?” Parson said.

She continued, “I did what they told me. I went to college. I got a master’s degree. I ended up living in my car. I did what they told me. Protests. Letters. Phone calls. Nothing changed.”

Parson explained, “Imagine I proposed a Housing for All Bill in 🏛️Congress. Then imagine you, me, and a million of our friends took action and occupied empty houses nationwide. They couldn’t ignore us.”

She added, “No one has ever done anything like this. That’s why it’s going to work.”

Additionally, in the tweet, Parson wrote, “The minimum wage shouldn’t be $7.25. It shouldn’t be $15. It should be $30.”

The candidate argued “$30 is the bare minimum in every county in the US for an adult with a kid to afford housing, food, healthcare, basic necessities. No vacations, no eating out. Those are the facts and no amount of praying to Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman will change that.”
