 I'm India Walton, nurse, organizer, and former nominee for mayor of Buffalo New York. I want to talk to you (watch my short video here) about a vision for our future, one where peace, justice, and community are prioritized above war, access, and corporate greed. For too long our resources have fued wars and military spending nearing a trillion dollars per year while our own communities are left struggling.
Imagine if that money went into our schools, our healthcare, our neighborhoods, roads, bike lanes, affordable housing, solar projects, and green energy. Each of us has a role to play in making this happen, even beyond our own lifetimes. By making a free and legal will through freewill.com you can support this vision long into the future. Consider leaving a legacy donation to RootsAction Education Fund to walk with us in our struggle for peace, justice, and the well-being of the people in our neighborhoods. It's easy; it's free; and it ensures your values will live on. Visit freewill.com today and take that step toward a better world. P.S.
