Why Running
“From construction sites to global conflict zones, I've learned that people everywhere share a common desire: to give back, to serve, and to build a better future for their communities. But here at home, that future is being sabotaged.
We live in the richest country in history, yet our elders are crushed by medical bills, housing is out of reach for my generation, and even basic supplies are unaffordable. Meanwhile, our government spends trillions on war, props up corporate monopolies, and leaves working people behind.
This isn't the American Dream. This is a system designed to milk us for profit and it's time we say enough."
