The image features a portrait of Lucy Parsons, a prominent figure in American labor history. She is depicted in a formal portrait, likely taken during her middle age. The portrait is set against a dark background, with bold, yellow text superimposed over it, conveying a message about economic inequality and political power. The location is likely United States.

"We know how hard times have been for so many families.
How costs have rocketed up.
How people are making sacrifices to make ends meet."

In her #SOTEU speech, President von der Leyen made it clear: we must tackle poverty at its roots.

That's why we'll soon launch a bold European Anti-Poverty Strategy to eradicate poverty by 2050, reinforced by a strong Child Guarantee.

This isn’t just policy.
It’s social justice.

Help shape our first-ever Anti-Poverty Strategy: https://link.europa.eu/7kW3k9

#Poverty exists because of you, politicians.
#Rich people only use the things what the politicians accept as law.

@EUCommission Does this mean we can expect a unifying tax on obscenely #rich and exploitative #corporations in order to boost our economies and wallets, not just prices? Yes? No? Maybe?
