@_catWillDoomYou @universalhub @WelcomeToDot Back when I looked (12 years ago) there was a list of all licensed daycare providers available via https://t.co/3G7eUA2Nyu that you could filter by ZIP. I printed, called many, visited some.

True environmental justice won't come from an occasional enforcement of established laws. It requires an entire cultural shift.

@TweetGillian @Find_Jeffness Thanks for bringing in the grassroots orgs, as well as community networks, that’s where the real work happens while we write our plans (EM) and journal articles (scholars).

[Mea E. Allen @BostonMea]

@Find_Jeffness Thanks. Let’s update the model to acknowledge how practitioners challenge the status quo daily, and ask how scholar colleagues can help amplify the big ideas coming from the ground. Up for coffee any time 🤣

[Mea E. Allen @BostonMea]

@Find_Jeffness I hope you are not implying that ideas only come from the scholarly and innovation doesn’t happen on the ground led by the practitioners?

Don't forget freezing temperatures 🥶 are forecasted for overnight so please shovel sidewalks as soon as possible to avoid icy conditions on Saturday.

Also please keep in mind when you are clearing your sidewalk to make a 42-inch ♿️ accessible path.

[Mea E. Allen @BostonMea]

@jeffrubin2 FYI, someone specifically asked us for this look back today, recalling how effective it was

[Mea E. Allen @BostonMea]

@jeffrubin2 Yes that was 2005. As evidenced by the animated GIF on slide 5 😂
