“I don’t know anyone who’s actually lost a job,” the business owner told me. “I think a lot of it is just media hype.” That was two weeks ago. He probably wouldn’t say the same today.
Today the Daily Planet publishes two articles with personal stories about the recession’s impact. I believe that putting faces on the “economic crisis” helps increase our will to do something about it, both personally (contributing to your local foodshelf) and politically. Do you have a story to tell? A job lost? A home foreclosed? Hours cut? Benefits gone? Maybe you have a story of hope–someone reaching out to help in hard times–or a strategy for coping.
