A program to give $500 monthly checks to low-income families in Oakland, California is illegally and unethically excluding people based on race.

The checks will be split between 1. Households with an annual income of less than $59,000 if they have at least one child and 2. Households earning under $30,000.

However, thousands people in poverty will be excluded because of their race. Despite being in poverty, no help will be given to a person who is white. A racist policy like this is NOT acceptable. Poverty happens to all races.

Please voice your opposition to racism and this unfair program!
