Meet You at the Legislature
They were the Acts surrounding Family Court which were first to demonstrate
to me a large and significant injustice taking place. Twelve years later the collective Acts include legislation outside of Family Court matters such as employment. The areas in which legislation has a negative and direct effect on my economic well being is greater than what I may be aware until I experience it. I have to trust my legislators to act in my best interest while they meet the needs of others' interests. Twelve years has demonstrated my trust was misplaced. It has also demonstrated I am not alone in experiencing similar hardship as a direct result of flawed and perhaps questionable legislation. To the extent that organization offers a possible correction and the extent that it is possible to mobilize those most affected, an effective collective action may be one that centers on legislation and ultimately the legislature itself. The counter to unfair legislation is legislative amendment and there are at least a few that come to mind. To the best of my knowledge, we're not supposed to be operating in a direct democracy but if that's what is necessary to protect the interests of the silent majority, then direct democracy it is and amendments there will be. |
