https://t.co/Oyfe6FXoHA Love is real. It makes you see things more clearly: including not putting up *anymore* with corruption of our public health agencies by private businesses, who put profits before patients. Felt my mom w/ me, to shine light 🔦for #healthjustice w/@BCAction

You've heard of Kent State (1970) and maybe Jackson State (1970). Did you know #tdih 1968, 28 students were injured and three killed (one a HS student) — most shot in the back by state police while involved in a peaceful protest in Orangeburg, SC? Read ⬇️

Book burnings and “free speech” crusaders are two sides of the same coin: Whiteness’ hunger to say whatever it wants without challenge.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Racist slurs have always been about power, that is why it is convenient for people atop the racial hierarchy to pretend otherwise. There is no equivalent to the N-word that Black people can deploy against white people because of the history of white power in the US.

Here in the US, we’re all about innovating to find cancer early once it’s already in people’s bodies. …Not so much when it comes to tracing industrial toxins that cause cancer, and *who’s* responsible! #CancerMoonshot @BCAction @EPA #environmentaljustice #healthjustice 🔦 🗃📛☣️

[lisasorg @lisasorg]

Get a load of this: @epa has a list of facilities that handle haz materials & file a Risk Mgmt Plan (ammonium nitrate is excluded). To review RMPs you have to visit a DOJ reading room in person (Raleigh, Greensboro, Asheville), can review only 10 facilities each month 1/2

Tchrs: A trusted journalist is looking to speak to "teachers in states where an anti-CRT policy or law has taken effect & who have had to change or adjust their teaching in response." If you are willing to have that convo (or or off record) DM or email us at [email protected]

@MarieGarlock @theNCI @NCIDirector @NIHDirector @SecBecerra Take action with us and let these agencies know! https://t.co/T1hoX0fjqm

@MikeWoodard It's time for the Senate to stop #HB805 & protect freedom of speech & assembly in North Carolina — no harsh penalties shaped by blatant racism for gatherings clearly protected by first amendment! Can I count on you to vote 'no?' #ncga

[Marie Garlock PhD @MarieGarlock]

Cancer & enviro health links = foundational! Recent revisions to @theNCI's patient info page on #BreastCancer are *not* enough, undermine science, & are a disservice to people living with & dying from the disease. We expect more.

@apetivist @TastySwirler @CoriBush Rectifying harms = “enviro justice” bc industry pollution:
• guts home value/makes unlivable (unsafe water/air)
• makes families sick & ⬆️ healthcare bills
• ruins land in multigenerational communities, disproportionately ⬆️ Black & Brown
• limits local jobs/schools’ safety

[Marie Garlock PhD @MarieGarlock]

@Shelbylover65 @CoriBush Rectifying harms = “environmental justice” bc enviro racism & classism from industry pollution:
• gut home values or make homes unlivable
• make families sick & cause expensive healthcare bills
• ruin land in multigenerational communities
• limit local jobs/schools’ safety

[Marie Garlock PhD @MarieGarlock]

@Shelbylover65 @CoriBush Hi, please 🛑 + listen: your neighbors (ppl in every US state) deal with deadly toxic industrial pollution (production & waste from coal, fracked gas, oil, aluminum, plastics, petrochem or pesticide production) that’s
disproportionately ⬆️ in Black & Brown neighborhoods (1/2)

[Marie Garlock PhD @MarieGarlock]

@my_bear_hands @ActuallySafe @CoriBush Housing justice: Enviro pollution causes home values to decrease (can’t resell if ppl know you get sick from nearby industry pollution), or homes to be completely unlivable (undrinkable water, unbreathable air, unusable soil)

ps - love your open-hearted replies here! Right on.
