Last year, Dallas was named the most expensive city in Texas to live in. The average income just to be able to afford a rental in the city is $71,000.
Every day, working people bear the brunt of the cost-of-living crisis. City leadership, landlords, and companies benefit from this system that puts profits before people's lives.
It has been a week since the apartment explosion in Oak Cliff devastated our community. OUR community stepped up to meet the needs of the people whose lives are forever changed by this terrible tragedy. Not the proper management company, not the gas or drilling company, and not city leadership.
Thousands of donations came pouring into community hubs. Residents affected by the explosion have been housed by groups local to Oak Cliff.
Meanwhile, city officials will continue to prepare for an influx of tourists into Dallas for the FIFA World Cup. Just last week, an order was passed to restrict groups from feeding homeless people. These politicians want to displace and disappear the homeless from areas with high tourist traffic.
In a city with so much wealth and resources hoarded by a few, we have the money to build a better future. We have to fight for it together. We have proven in the last week that when we come together we are stronger. We can work together to build a socialist future, a better future for all!
