Drop a comment below with your #1 reason for wanting to leave the US. Keep it short—just 1-2 sentences. Here's mine to get us started: "I was tired of being shamed if I took the few days of paid time off that I earned. I also wanted to live where there is universal health insurance and universal affordable or free education. I love living where I don't have to worry about gun violence. My list could fill pages!" Your turn. And after you post, read through what others have shared. You'll find your people here. — Liesa Harte
