What is Austerity and How Can We Stop It?
Austerity (n): Cuts that lower the quantity and quality of services provided by the government, in an attempt to shrink budget deficits.
Austerity has had a negative impact on people around the world and is not helping our economy grow. We need a plan for shared prosperity that focuses on family and community sustaining jobs, investment and the right for people to collectively bargain for a better life.
