Richard Allen (b. 1760) was an American founder who linked abolition & patriotism & recognized “Black freedom was the true barometer of the success of American democracy.” R. Newman, Freedom’s Prophet: Bishop Richard Allen, the AME Church, & the Black Founding Fathers.

I will never forget the City of Toronto spent nearly $2 million in *one* summer to clear encampments in three parks, which should have gone to housing.

We fund what we value, we police what we don't.

We start 👏🏾every 👏🏾child born in @cityofsaintpaul with $50 in a #CollegeSavingsAccount.

If a family doesn’t want their newborn to start saving from birth, there’s #paperwork to fill out. @CollegeBoundSTP

If Republicans take control of Congress, they'll introduce a nationwide abortion ban. If Democrats retain control (and get 52 Senators), they'll protect reproductive rights nationwide. It's as simple as that.

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

Homelessness is a symptom of poverty and poverty is a consequence of a system, not a person.

This was such a great conversation on today’s @CrossConnection, hosted by @TiffanyDCross. I appreciate how people are shifting how they look at their lives & their work. ✨#CrossConnection

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Just a reminder that the person crafting national legislation stripping you of your reproductive rights, Lindsey Graham, has no children, no significant other, no family, but is perfectly content to tell you how and when you should have yours.

An outreach worker came across this encampment today and shared a picture with me. In a wooded area, a newly homeless person is trying to hold together some semblance of what they've lost through eviction – a bedroom, a dining area, and what was once a living room. #heartbreaking

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

Biden's DOL creates a pro-union, how-to resource center — #1u

[Community Solutions United @CSUnited22]

When your union proposes an anti-discrimination clause…Oh no!

Watch our video to see the difference between @cmtysolutions stated values and their response to our proposal

Is there a teacher shortage? Or is there is a shortage of people willing to live in poverty while spending their own money to buy school supplies in order to effectively teach your children. We're discussing on The #CrossConnection

.@Liz_Cheney may have lost tonight, but she has earned a place amongst honorable Americans who put country over Party and political ambition.

History will lump most of her GOP colleagues together as forgettable cowards. She will be remembered and admired as a profile in courage.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

Once in a generation, we get a chance to set the course of our futures. As the Supreme Court continues to rescind our civil liberties, protections of our rights must come from a governor who believes in our economic might and our moral obligations.

Governors matter.

Thinking a lot about Adam Schiff’s words this week:

“He has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again… You cannot constrain him. He is who he is. Truth matters little to him. What’s right matters even less, and decency matters not at all.”

[Val Demings @valdemings]

Retweet if you’re ready for me to unseat Rubio!

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Every Republican just voted *against* enabling Medicare to negotiate and lower drug prices, empowering the IRS to go after super-rich tax dodgers, and taxing profitable corporations to invest in the people.

And they call themselves the party of the working class?

[Community Solutions United @CSUnited22]

We are all questioning if we actually work for a human rights focused, social justice organization. We demand that you bargain with us in good faith. Do better @cmtysolutions executive team! 🧵

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

NEW: Just signed our budget. California will now be the first state in the nation to achieve universal access to healthcare coverage.

This is what being “pro-life” ACTUALLY looks like.

[ConsultantInTheCity @AMELegalService]

So proud and happy! @CSUnited22 we did it!
