In April 1977 Panthers were key supporters of the 504 Sit-ins, the longest of which was the 25-day occupation of the San Francisco Federal Building by over 120 people with disabilities. Panthers provided daily home-cooked meals in support of the protest’s eventual success, which eventually led to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)thirteen years later.

        3 billion dollars is three thousand million dollars. That’s enough to hoard for generations without being taxed.

        Or that money could be taken and used to end homelessness and provide services to pull families out of intergenerational poverty caused by the crimes committed by billionaire families
