So sad and this will happen under Trump🥺😱😢
Picture This Happening…
-
Your Nanny or Daycare Teacher is Gone
What happens?
Sofia, who takes care of your little sister while your parents work, is no longer allowed to stay in the country. Immigration laws made it harder for her to renew her visa, and she had to leave suddenly. Now your parents can’t find affordable childcare and are struggling to balance work and family.
How it affects you:
Your parents are stressed, your sister is unhappy with her new daycare, and Sofia is heartbroken to leave a job she loved. -
Your Favorite Restaurant Closes
What happens?
A family-owned Mexican restaurant down the street, run by immigrants, shuts down because the new laws make it harder for them to stay in business. They couldn’t afford the higher taxes and lost some of their workers who were sent back to their home countries.
How it affects you:
No more taco nights with friends, the neighborhood feels emptier, and a hard-working family loses everything they built. -
Your School Can’t Afford Sports or Arts
What happens?
Government funding for education is cut, and your school has to make hard choices. They cancel art class, the music program, and all the sports teams. The building doesn’t get repairs, so the roof leaks, and the bathrooms are broken.
How it affects you:
School feels dull and depressing. You lose the chance to discover a talent or passion, and your town starts to feel neglected. -
Your Mom’s Friend Loses Their Job
What happens?
A factory closes because a big tax break encouraged the company to move overseas. Your mom’s friend, who worked there for 15 years, is laid off. She can’t find another job, so her family has to move to a cheaper town.
How it affects you:
You miss her kids, your mom worries it could happen to her job, and the community loses a source of income and pride. -
A Heatwave Leaves Everyone Struggling
What happens?
Because environmental rules were relaxed, companies kept building with no concern for climate change. Now, heatwaves are longer and hotter. Your city doesn’t have enough cooling centers or shade trees because no one invested in climate planning.
How it affects you:
Your family’s electricity bill skyrockets because of air conditioning, the elderly in your neighborhood are at risk, and outdoor events are canceled. Summers feel unsafe and miserable. -
Your Aunt’s Business Goes Bankrupt
What happens?
Small businesses like your aunt’s corner store struggle because tax policies favor big corporations. Her loyal customers can’t afford to shop there anymore because wages are too low and prices keep going up.
How it affects you:
Family gatherings are full of stress and sadness, and you realize how hard it is for small businesses to survive. -
Your Friend Moves into a Shelter
What happens?
Cuts to affordable housing programs mean your friend Liam and his mom lose their apartment. They end up in a shelter far from school. Liam stops coming to class regularly, and when he does, he seems tired and distracted.
How it affects you:
You miss your friend, and it’s painful to see someone you care about struggle just to have a home. -
Disaster Strikes, and There’s No Help
What happens?
A hurricane floods your town, but government cuts to disaster relief mean there’s no money to rebuild quickly. Your family has to live in temporary housing for months, and your school is shut down.
How it affects you:
Life feels chaotic, you fall behind in school, and your family’s savings are drained trying to rebuild. -
Hospitals Are Overwhelmed
What happens?
Cuts to healthcare programs mean fewer people can afford regular doctor visits. This leads to more emergencies, and hospitals are overcrowded and understaffed. Your uncle, who has diabetes, waits too long for care and ends up in serious condition.
How it affects you:
You’re scared for your family’s health and feel helpless knowing this could happen to anyone. -
No One Trusts the News Anymore
What happens?
False information spreads everywhere, and trusted news sources lose funding or get silenced. People argue about what’s real and what’s fake, and conspiracy theories take over.
How it affects you:
You feel confused and frustrated because it’s hard to know who or what to believe This Affects EVERYONE
- Policies aren’t just “far away” decisions—they touch your neighbors, friends, and family.
- A lack of support for vulnerable people can create a domino effect: one person’s struggles ripple out and affect the whole community.
