In response to an investigation by local news outlet KSTP, the Welfare Rights Committee staged a protest to demand an end to what the group calls “poor bashing.” The Committee went on to say that reports such as these are inaccurate and shame people away from accepting much needed help, that this nation is in a state of economic crisis and 1 in 7 people are on food stamps.
