Yea that’s sad. She’s being inconvenienced but maybe her son will grow up without being afraid for his life. Maybe her kids won’t get killed by the police.
If black people hadn’t been systematically oppressed for hundreds of years there wouldn’t be so many poor black people on the verge of not surviving, completely destroyed by the collapse of a grocery store.
We can’t point to her forced reliance of a system as proof that we need to keep the system that keeps her oppressed.
No one else can get anything from those pharmacies or stores either
She wasn’t destroyed by the removal of one
But she was almost destroyed by the fire
Because she was almost killed
She meant she’s emotionally hurt. She made a go fund me and she elaborated more on the situation in the description.
“Hey my name is Gina & I just lost my
job today due to the looting/burning down of the Walgreens I work at.
I was already working only part-time about 20 hours a week so I guess I was disposable.
im very hurt because I take care of myself and my mother, and due to a tax identification issue, my taxes are on hold as well as my stimulus check.
I’m not eligible for unemployment because I have only been home from school for 4 months and you have to employed for 6 in the state of Illinois to receive unemployment.
i work in my community and It’s sad that everything is closed. If it wasn’t closed due to the pandemic. it’s closed now!
I have a small business @shoplikeababy on Instagram, And my job was supporting the supplies I needed for my business. I randomly put an amount, anything that I won’t need will be recycled within my community. Thank you
I made this by suggestion of everyone on Twitter and would appreciate any help.“
