Systemic Inequality Quotes

“Lacking shelter is not evidence of personal failure. The system we’ve inherited is not designed to house everyone. That’s a structural problem. It’s a policy choice. A person can be born into poverty without their say, which is like entering a race already behind. Do we blame them for losing? You do not have to qualify for the right to live. Even if a person fails by every conventional measure, it is not justification for removing a roof over their head.”
― Kristian Ventura, The Price of Being Human
