The goal of this booklet is to introduce New Yorkers to each other. I want to make the point that a variety of us have financial problems – the visible panhandlers, the people paying for their groceries with food stamps, and the middle class families who max out credit cards to cover high rent.
My political hope is that if we see each other as compatriots in the struggle, we will stop scapegoating each other and join in addressing the real powers that keep us all down.
The form the booklet takes is a narrative of my rambling around NYC, describing, in words and prints, New Yorkers who are struggling.
Funding was from More Art, Fund for the City of NY, and the Puffin Foundation.
