.@TysonFoods has lobbied @USDA to speed up animal slaughter lines throughout the pandemic. Fast line speeds make social distancing for workers impossible. #Justice4TysonWorkers https://t.co/UM7zEKDNDq

[DC Greens @dc_greens]

At least 12,000 @TysonFoods workers have gotten sick and at least 39 have died. But Tyson STILL refuses to improve working conditions and is fighting worker-driven safety solutions proposed by its shareholders. #ShameonTyson https://t.co/W7PvSacwOt

While @TysonFoodsCEO made $10 million+ during the pandemic, 12,000 workers got sick and 39 have died. The median worker made only $37k. #ShameonTyson https://t.co/W7PvS9UVWV

[DC Greens @dc_greens]

Why does @MayorBowser want to increase our police budget while slashing funding for vital community programs like school breakfast? We need to reinvest in our communities and #DefundMPD #SaveDCSchoolBreakfast

[DC Greens @dc_greens]

School meal cuts in the #FY21Budget will harm DC’s Black and Brown students the most, as they disproportionately rely on school meals as their primary food source.
Let @councilofdc know that #BlackLivesMatterDC and that they must #SaveDCSchoolBreakfast! https://t.co/R0tH7TOuWw

[World Central Kitchen @WCKitchen]

Margaret is the founder of District Chop Bar, serving West African cuisine in DC. With WCK’s support, she’s been able to hire additional part-time staff! Today’s meal is a drool-worthy Mambo Chicken, Greens & Cornbread, destined for the community at Fort Lincoln. #ChefsForAmerica
