Another #KillingTuesday will be upon us in two weeks. On Aug 1st, Missouri will execute #JohnnyJohnson, who is severely mentally ill, suffering w drug resistant schizophrenia & other mental disorders. He has no rational understanding of what's going on & why he's being executed.

What happens when we end affirmative action? An ex: The Univ. of California system ended its race-conscious college admissions in ‘96.

“The year its policy went into effect, Black and Latino enrollment dropped by more than 40%, according to one study.” https://t.co/MZV7BBbFwz

65 human rights & environmental organizations ask that Obama press #Vietnam to free former @ObamaFoundation scholar & climate leader Hoang Thi Minh Hong. She was jailed on political ly-motivated charges of tax evasion— the 5th such case in VN since 2021 https://t.co/CFAcJFU2bj

"Can Vietnam really be serious about fighting climate change if it imprisons the leading voices for action?"

Rather than celebrating their environmental leaders, Vietnam has criminalized them, including Dang Dinh #Bach and Hoang Thi Minh Hong.

60 years ago today, civil rights activist Medgar Evers was assassinated in the driveway outside of his home in Jackson, Mississippi, by avowed white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith.

It took More Than 30 Years And Three Trials To Convict His Killer.

Thank you for raising awareness about imprisoned #Vietnam|ese climate activists 🌏🌱🪧

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

. @honghoangchange environmental activist & dir. of Vietnamese NGO CHANGE was arrested on May 31st. Her arrest is political, she is just one of the victim of a larger crackdown on environmental activists everywhere. Free Hong, free them, free them all!

This project received 100% tax abatement for 25 years. Rents for this project are:

Studio $1,461-$2,144
1BR $2,143 - $3,272
2BR $3,627 - $8,078
3BR $13,561

Meanwhile, low income renters and fixed income homeowners fear being being priced out of their homes.

We deserve better.

The facts on Hoang Thi Minh Hong’s arrest:
1️⃣Hong is a leading climate activist in VN
2️⃣Her org CHANGE was forced to close last yr
3️⃣ She was arrested for tax evasion just weeks after the release of our report uncovering political motives in arrests of 4 other climate leaders

[Kaylee Uland (she/her) @KayleeDolen]

Another huge blow to Vietnam’s environmental movement with the arrest of activist Hong Hoang. How can VN implement G7-backed $15.5 billion in climate financing without independent civil society?!

[The 88 Project @The88Project]

🌎🌿Acclaimed environmental activist Hoang Thi Minh Hong has been arrested in Vietnam on charges of tax evasion —

🚨This is the fifth such charge against a climate leader since 2021

Hey @JoeBiden @POTUS @SecBlinken! How about demanding #Hanoi release all of the #Vietnam 4 environmental, climate change activists from prison before turning on JETP $$ spigot! @MOFAVietNam should be told they will not get a dime until remaining 3 r free! https://t.co/NzHd3Vv02j

A powerful Vietnamese official ate a gold-encrusted steak at a London restaurant. An activist who poked fun at the excess was sentenced to more than five years in prison. https://t.co/0MQ3tvscgB

A Vietnamese political activist, Tran Van Bang, was sentenced to 8 years in prison and 3 years probation for “spreading anti-government propaganda”. He was arrested in March 2022.
Since 2018 at least 60 people have been imprisoned on the same charge.

[The 88 Project @The88Project]

Happy #EarthDay2023! We stand behind all the climate activists in Vietnam. One of them is imprisoned civil society leader Nguy Thi Khanh, a pioneering, widely credited climate activist. Read more about her prosecution for tax evasion in our latest report: https://t.co/DJaP5EHXej

[Kaylee Uland (she/her) @KayleeDolen]

#EarthDay 🌏Our new report from @The88Project carefully details why the #Vietnam Four — 4 NGO leaders who organized to press VN to reduce its reliance on coal— are #PoliticalPrisoners and not simply jailed for allegedly evading taxes, like the govt claims. https://t.co/BHOJLQaF9s
