As we continue to tirelessly fight the high cost of living in our nation, we urge everyone to keep their faith as the fight to arrest economic hardships requires everyone’s input and not just government. There’s time for everything, time to work and time for politics, but now is the time to work for the betterment of our country. Because the impact of hardships is felt by everyone.
Together we stand, divided we fall and together we shall emerge stronger than ever before.
