[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

This is a coup. This is an insurrection. This is domestic terrorism. This is gun violence. This moment will shape how young people see the country for the rest of our lives.

You're probably seeing a lot of the word "austerity," such as in #SolidarityNotAusterity. But what does that word mean? Check this out ⬇️

UC-wide Call to Action:

May Day strike against austerity and unsafe working conditions
Our greatest weapon is the labor we can withhold from this institution. On May 1 do not go to work as usual. Reclaim the time you need to care for yourself and your community.

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

The #USPS is the 3rd largest employer in the country. That’s 500k good-paying government jobs doing critical work.

Congress must absolutely #SaveTheUSPS, but it should do more than that. It should put millions more to work serving the country through a #GreenNewDeal.

UCSC Grad student workers: can we have a little #COLA so we can pay rent and buy food?
Admin: no. And you’re fired. Also admin: we value our grad students and care about your well-being.

[Michael Sainato @msainat1]

Whole Foods, Amazon, Target, and Instacart workers are striking on May 1st

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

As Americans receive stimulus checks, not all #essentialworkers will be included. Not all farmworkers, such as Betty who sent in this photo from Oxnard, CA, will receive financial assistance. The UFW believes that all farmworkers deserve essential benefits. #WeFeedYou

[UCSC4COLA @payusmoreucsc]

Yes we are! ✊ Universities have BILLIONS in their endowments but their students go hungry and are on a brink of homelessness. This is unacceptable and we demand better from our institutions! https://t.co/9jKeF3RbPa

Rent is being lowered by 75% for all small businesses for April, May and June.

WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE RENT RELIEF FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO RENTS???

“We won’t work, we won’t teach, and we won’t pay rent.”

I spoke to student organizers behind the strikes taking place on college campuses across the counctry in my latest @TheNation:

Gem from Creating Communities of Care @TheStrikeU: this is not social distancing, it’s physical distancing. We can still come together with our communities in other ways
