Climate justice = racial justice = economic justice. She/Her/Hers. Tweets & opinions my own.

Excited to share @conway_maureen and my thoughts on the importance of quality jobs and economic equity as we respond to the #climate crisis.

[Maureen Conway @conway_maureen]

@mo87mo87 @keeshagaskins @amykenyon_ @DeidreSwesnik Best thing about being a funder is when you have brilliant, visionary people who get things done that you can fund. My admiration for @mo87mo87 @snbhatti and the whole @ACREcampaigns crew is out of this world.

Farm workers are on the front lines of climate change. We deserve protections and choices in the way we organize for safer conditions. There is no climate justice without worker justice.

Belatedly reading ⁦@zeynep⁩ ⁦@nytopinion⁩ on effectiveness of protest. For me, I increasingly see it as a way to reinforce friendly policymakers and raise priorities for them, rather than expecting to force the hand of opponents.

Way back in my college days, bell hooks opened my eyes to new ways of thinking about gender, justice and what society could be. I will always be grateful for her generosity, wisdom and inspiration.

@carlpdavis @amyhanauer @iteptweets @marcoguzDC @Schieder_ I’m in for all 10 of these — and for using revenue from the tax fixes to invest in programs that build wealth and opportunity.

@ayanaeliza Turbocharging policy by making sure transforming the #FoodSystem is part of the solution — and REAL transformation (healthy soil and food justice) not carbon markets that just make industrial agriculture richer and more powerful.

[Amy Brown @Fin_Justice]

I loved this episode! Can be so hard to sort out how to be true to your own values while also helping to make systemic change at scale. This episode was super clear on both.
