We are feeling the power of Richmond City Council member @ClaudiaDist6's solidarity with UPS Teamsters, and the entire working class. She was one of the first elected officials to sign DSA's strike ready pledge. 🌹🌹🌹
We had a great conference connecting with developers and Tier 1 providers of offshore wind energy. We want to explore what opportunities there are for Richmond with offshore wind production. Let's build a green and sustainable port that benefits our community. @offshorewindca
Willow Oil. What devastating news not only for this country but for the entire planet. We need governments that focus on Just Transition and move away from a fossil fuel economy to a green economy. We should be promoting businesses that help the planet not kill it. @TedrickG
Progressive elected officials gathered to celebrate the results of the latest elections. Across the state, Californians elected progressive people to lead and implement a progressive agenda to support working families at the local, county and state levels. @JaneKim
Richmond City’s AA- rating was affirmed by Standard & Poor’s. They acknowledges the City’s good financial management. Standard & Poor’s also acknowledged in their report the positive credit impact for the City from termination of the remaining swaps. @TedrickG@RPA_Richmond
No se puede permitir que se reescriba la historia de forma ideologizada negando el asesinato y desaparición de 6.402 jóvenes.
Negarlo es tapar crímenes de lesa humanidad, y eso, senadora @MariaFdaCabal no se hace en una democracia.
The incredible work and results ONS continue to be recognized. I want to thank ONS Director Sam Vaughn for his leadership. ONS was able to apply for the calViP grant in part because last year the city council voted to double the ONS budget to $2 million. @RPA_Richmond
A real lesson for all of us comes from Ecuador where Indigenous leader Leonidas Iza led a successful 18-day national strike that resulted in lower gas prices and a end to new oil drilling in the Amazon.
We need more direct action like this in the US.
President Biden is right: The big oil companies must stop profiteering and bring down gas prices. But we need more than a tweet. It's time for the President to demand that Congress pass a windfall profits tax on Big Oil and use the revenue to provide rebates to consumers NOW!
