For car insurance, health insurance, travel, and memberships.
What is the rationale for this discrimination?
Do we have more car accidents? Do we get sick more often? Do we take up too much room?
Are we insignificant or undesirable?
Why do we allow society to value marriage as the gold standard!
There are 104 million single people over the age of 18 in the U.S.
They are SINGLE- never married, divorced, or widowed. - and that number is expected to increase as people lose their partners to death, as the divorce rate rises, as more people decide not to marry, and as laws continue that prohibit classes of people from marrying.
Why aren’t single people speaking out and protesting the payment of a premium for their lifestyle?
The assumptions are old.
You shouldn’t have gotten a divorce.
You’re not good enough to have found a partner.
You don’t have as many expenses as a household.
You cost us more for stamps!
Absurd!!!
Where is our advocacy?
There are advocacy groups for elderly, disabled, people of color, gay, etc.
Yet single people are in ALL of these groups.
Remember:
We are a significant number of people.
We have power in numbers and money.
Don’t support any organization - that doesn’t support you.
We are equal.
We are important.
Speak out for -
One person -one place- one price!!!
