Inclusive, Compassionate, and Progressive: Building a Better Future
You're in the right place if youāve ever wondered why some people build walls while others build tables. Welcome to Bigger Table! Weāre here to challenge the status quo, dismantle misinformation, and celebrate ideas that create a kinder, more inclusive society.
We believe in free healthcare, affordable housing, school lunches for kids, and other programs that make life better for everyoneānot just the wealthy few. This is your space to read, learn, and join a movement about progress.
What You Can Expect From Bigger Table š½ļøš
Weāre not just another political blogāweāre a community. Hereās what weāll be bringing to the table:
1. Calling Out the Spin š
We live in a world flooded with misinformation and half-truths. From fake news about social programs to wild conspiracy theories, itās easy to feel overwhelmed. Thatās why weāre here to break it all down, one claim at a time.
Examples of Recent Misinformation:
āUniversal healthcare is too expensive.ā š Spoiler: The U.S. spends more per capita on healthcare than any country with universal systems, leaving millions uninsured.
āRaising the minimum wage will destroy small businesses.ā š Actually, studies show higher wages boost worker productivity and consumer spending.
Weāll separate facts from fictionāwith a little sarcasm and a lot of š.
2. Celebrating Compassion š¦āØ
Compassion isnāt weaknessāitās strength. From free school lunch programs to affordable housing initiatives, progressive policies make a real difference in peopleās lives.
Recent Wins Weāre Celebrating:
Californiaās Free Lunch Program for Kids š„Ŗ: The first state in the U.S. to provide free meals to all public school students.
Affordable Housing in Vancouver š : New policies create homes for thousands of needy families.
Letās highlight the victories that prove kindness is powerful and progress is possible.
3. A Seat for Action šŖš¦
What good is a bigger table if no one knows how to join? Weāll provide actionable steps so you can get involved.
How You Can Make an Impact Today:
šļø Sign petitions for progressive causes.
š¢ Attend local town halls to advocate for free healthcare and housing initiatives.
šø Support grassroots organizations like Feeding America or Habitat for Humanity.
Small steps lead to big change. Together, we can build the world we want to live in.
4. Humor, Hope, and Humanity šš
We get itāpolitics can be heavy. Thatās why we sprinkle in a little humor and a lot of heart. Expect witty commentary and the occasional meme because progress is easier to digest with a side of joy.
Why āBigger Tableā? š¦š
Our name comes from a simple yet profound idea:
āIf you have more than your neighbors, build a bigger tableānot a higher wall.ā
Itās a call to action that reflects the world we want to create: one where charity, inclusion, and kindness drive decisionsānot greed or fear.
What We Stand For:
š„ Healthcare is a human right.
š Housing should be affordable for everyone.
š„Ŗ No child should go hungry at school.
š Empathy makes stronger communities.
This isnāt just a blog; itās a movement. And we want you to be part of it.
