Economic struggles have hit families hard, with inflation driving up the cost of everyday necessities. Many have lost jobs, homes, and the sense of security they once had. Meanwhile, policies that were supposed to bring relief often ended up creating more confusion and frustration. Small businesses, the backbone of local economies, continue to fight for survival, but many have not made it through. These past few years have been a lesson in resilience, but they have also revealed cracks in the system that are difficult to ignore.
Politically, we have witnessed intense polarization, where discourse seems more about winning than about solving problems. Distrust in institutions has reached new heights, and many feel disillusioned with leaders who seem more focused on maintaining power than serving the people. This lack of unity only deepens the divide, making it harder to come together and address the pressing issues that face our communities.
