“I can see the gates, but I can’t quite get through them," said Constance Woodson, one of our client advocates, in this powerful @TIME story about trying to regain stability w/o housing, during a pandemic. https://t.co/PEwL25dLtt

Dear @oatly, I stand with @FredrikGertten - your *purposeful* decision to partner with Blackstone makes me v. sad. You cannot clean dirty money by investing it in something sustainable. Plus it is likely that profits made by Blackstone will be used to cause human suffering. 1/3
Black Americans are poor b/c first they were enslaved, and after, whites found new ways of drawing wealth from their bodies. It didn’t end with the Civil War, and it didn’t end with MLK. IT’S HAPPENING NOW. What are YOU going to do? #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/5RCydXGN8o
We should go beyond existing recommendations. Time is of the essence. Patience has run out.
Black lives matter. Indigenous lives matter. The lives of people of colour matter.
All human beings are born equal in dignity and rights. #StandUp4HumanRights. That is what we stand for.
Low-income and homeless NYers struggling thru this pandemic rely on the Grand Central Food Program every night. Thanks to the @NYCCouncil and @NYCProgressives for providing some of the $$ needed to keep this program serving NYers in need. Restoring all funding is crucial.
We stand with the #LakotaTribe as they move to reclaim their land. Because Mt. Rushmore is the sacred center of the Lakota people's universe, Trump was ordered by the president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe to cancel his #July4 event. #ProtecttheSacred https://t.co/0QbHrfV5yj
We hosted our second virtual memorial service yesterday to honor the many homeless & formerly homeless NYers, and those serving them, whom we've lost during the pandemic. Thank you to all who offered powerful & moving tributes to our friends & neighbors. https://t.co/9hFoxNpmWO
