People in my community gather at work. My family is my community and I feel like we are always working. I feel that the same holds true for most working class folks. We spend more time in our work place than anywhere else. It’s for work we use public transportation, we work to pay for our loved ones to go to school and we go for higher education in the hopes of being paid more for work. Everything centers around work and the ability to afford living. At least in this society.
My community is composed of two. I identify with the Haitian community, the burden of being tied to historical trauma, poverty and being the definition of failed infrastructure in the Western Hemisphere, as they like to describe it. I carry a lot of pride to counter the perception that is constantly forced upon an entire nationality. I also identify with being Black. Raised in NYC, I was forced to keenly be aware of skin and how it impacts ones growth in most society. I carry a lot of pride in Afro heritage and I enjoy learning about different cultures that originate from the African continent. As well as liberation movements and socialism.
Most residents work a 9 to 5 job. I consider it to be a new form of slavery because economic growth is so difficult. Rich only seem to get richer, middle class is growing smaller and the poor get deeper in poverty.
The needs of the community would be lower taxes on mortgages, lower interest rates for historically disadvantaged groups, more reliable bus service to travel and more investments into the community.
