Weird how $300/week in unemployment is a "handout" but $1.9 trillion in tax cuts, $800 billion in PPP and trillions to prop up the stock market is a "stimulus"

The fight for Black lives and the fight for Palestinian liberation are interconnected.
We oppose our money going to fund militarized policing, occupation, and systems of violent oppression and trauma.
We are anti-war. We are anti-occupation. And we are anti-apartheid. Period.
36 years ago today, the Philadelphia police bombed a Black liberation group, killing 11 people, including five children.
36 years ago today, a Black neighborhood was burned to ashes.

We need a radical redistribution of wealth and power.
Today is May Day, aka Int'l Workers' Day, where we recognize the organizers who fight for a living wage, for affordable healthcare, and against harmful Right-to-Work Laws.
Thank you for your hard work. You will always have an advocate and ally with me in the Mayor's office.

For us, justice would be George Floyd alive today.
Police killed 121 people in traffic stops in 2020.
Black people are pulled over at disproportionate rates.
Sandra Bland. Philando Castile. Daunte Wright. All their deaths began with a traffic stop. Remove police from traffic enforcement. We can't keep adding names to this list.
