Women of color are more likely to drop out of the workforce or lose their jobs due to a lack of accessible resources. Women in the workforce deserve equitable opportunities to climb the ladder of success! Thank you for hosting @BayAreaCouncil#genderequity#WomenAtWork#MCSoc
@BLeeForCongress Pass the #ForThePeopleAct to ensure American democracy is upheld through the expansion of voter rights to stop racist voter suppression and unjust campaigning! #MCSoc https://t.co/PG8lxGMTxf
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhuman because it often results in physical death.”
@RepBarbaraLee Pass the Equal Health Care For All Act! #HealthEquity#MCSoc

A #JustRecovery4Oak means investing in solutions to homelessness, keeping communities safe & healthy, and providing services for the working-class Black, Latino & Asian families that have been hit the hardest.
@LibbySchaaf must prioritize the people in our #JustRecovery4Oak.
@ericswalwell @BLeeForCongress Pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to give employees the tools they need to challenge the wage gap and demand equal pay for all people. Sign the petition here! #MCSoc https://t.co/rEVw3NZ0x0
Blacks are unprotected from #VoterSuppression laws and practices enacted by states. Banning former felons from voting is decidedly racial as Blacks are more likely to be arrested than whites @AlexPadilla4CA Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act now! #MCSoc https://t.co/DCMgOa6PmZ
Racism and violence against people of color are often driven by fear. #LivingWhileBlack is the harsh reality every Black American faces due to racial and ethnic discrimination embedded within individuals and institutions. #MCSoc Dismantle ALL racism @POTUS https://t.co/d4jFWTuiL0
The cost of living in the Bay Area is too high to work $12-14 minimum wage jobs. According to a study by Tipping Point, 50% of people who live in the Bay area can't pay their bills at least once a year. Contact your Rep and #fightfor15 @BLeeForCongress @ericswalwell#MCSoc
When members of Congress fight to set the minimum wage below a living wage, they are playing a role in creating and preserving poverty in the United States.
The $15/hr proposal with multi-year phase in is already a deep compromise.
$10 an hour is legislated poverty.
Use your voice to cancel student debt! Voter participation counts in all shapes and forms! Write a letter to @BLeeForCongress to demand that congress pushes to eliminate student debt! @ColorOfChange has a pre-formatted letter just sign your name! #MCSoc

Social problems are NOT personal problems! Social problems are perpetuated by the inequitable social structures society is built upon. Evaluate the #systemicoppression of Black people through policing, is it a personal, or social problem? https://t.co/9aX5huPIwR #BLM#MCSoc
forever grateful for the lessons learned in #McSoc Between using my #sociologicalimagination and becoming further educated on #PoliceBrutality I now possess the knowledge to make a difference!

What does it mean to "act like a girl/boy" to you? Are your expectations based on the stereotypical biases society has placed upon us for centuries? Would it be so crazy to eliminate #gendernorms and allow people to live happily, free of judgment? #MCSoc https://t.co/WjQ4yS0QDG
When the SCOTUS ruled that CAs prisons constituted cruel & unusual punishment in 2011 they noted that 1 person per week died unnecessarily. In 2020, there have been 90 covid deaths in 9 months. That’s almost 3 ppl per week who have lost their lives bc CDCr is opposing releases.
BLACKS ARE AT A HIGHER RISK OF CATCHING COVID-19! According to @CharlesModlinMD even though African-Americans make up 13% of the U.S. population, they account for more than 18% of Covid deaths due to inequitable and discriminatory health care access! Protect your people! #McSoc
Equitably distribute wealth amongst Americans! #TaxTheRich so money recycles throughout the economy. Middle and low-class citizens spend a greater portion of their incomes than the very rich do! @JoeBiden@KamalaHarris#MCSoc
