Marginalized Citizens: Challenge Society and Fellow Citizens

marginalized citizens: Ignoring our fellow citizens who are homeless or destitute serves to humiliate the poor, according to Rabble. Marginalized citizens stay quietly in line, unable to live free for want of basic resources, and unwilling to challenge society at large. Canadians enjoy freedoms protected within the Constitution; but that does not prevent far too many Canadians from living unfree, lacking daily necessities and left aside by economic and social injustice. As Frances Fox Piven has argued, the poor and their allies have the power to disrupt, occupy government offices, take to the streets, demonstrate, attract media attention and make society pay attention. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments to impose major disruptions themselves. The power to disrupt and rage in protest has been a powerful weapon in creating social change.
