December 9, 2025: President for a Day, Part 2

VoR's four co-hosts, Rose, Opollo, Robo and Barbara continued the conversation this week.  On our lists were:

1. demilitarize the USA
2. abolishing ICE and provide pathways to citizenship for undocumented individuals (and maybe even abolish the Department of Homeland Security)
3. provide a massive investment in affordable housing for all, de-comidify housing
4. pay workers living wages, including and especially those in the service industry
5. abolish the IMF and World Bank
6. restructure the tax code
7. institute a policy of "de-growth," where less is made and what is made can be repaired and reused
8. abolish the prison system
9. redirect the trillions spent on the war on terror to provide for the needs of people
10. reform the electoral system to provide for direct democracy, including one person/one vote, abolition of the Electoral College, and institute reforms such as recall unseating elected officials who do not fulfill campaign promises

On the next Voices of Resistance on 12/16, we will talk about how to make meaningful change and the organizations in Savannah committed to making these changes.
