Economic Disparity: A New Approach – A Call to Rise

Fighting for the economic interests for the people of poverty-stricken District 7 is Patricia Evans Mokolo’s top priority. In the past, Patricia has worked with the Community Action Association of Alabama, religious leaders, government officials and other organizations to fight against the injustices of the underprivileged. Patricia will lead the fight against economic disparity by introducing and supporting legislation to combat the everyday struggles of Alabamians. Implementing FDR’s unfinished Economic Bill of Rights will be Patricia’s first act as a member of Congress. An economic Bill of Rights is needed now more than ever.
