What is Poverty Sucks?
Poverty Sucks is a newsletter about about how it sucks to be a poor in this terrible capitalist, colonized society. I share my personal experience with chronic poverty and the impact it’s had (and continues to have) on my life.
Poverty Sucks is open access. Please purchase a paid subscription if you value my content and are financially resourced. Your tangible support allows me to keep Poverty Sucks accessible to the community.
2024 Goal: To only write about poverty and not continue to live in it. Each paid subscription helps me move closer to that reality.
Who am I?
I’m Robin Divine - a writer with a heart for collective liberation and social justice and a fiery rage for capitalism. My writing sheds light on the systemic failures of society and serves as a constant reminder that poverty is not a failure of the individual. Poverty Sucks shares accessible and creative ways that we can start to repair the harm caused by poverty, create new models of community care and build an equitable society.
