Public Service Announcement:
You can’t proudly and publicly say, “Black Lives Matter,”
And then be afraid to say, “Defund the Police.”
It doesn’t work that way.
It seems as though many people, including celebrities, influencers, and corporations, have moved on from eradicating anti-Black racism.
Or was it ever real?
Injustice concerning another group shouldn’t = moving on from stopping racism against Black people.
This can’t wait.
Cities really be acting like they don’t know where the budget is 😭😭😒😒
If you wanna let us know how the city of LA should be spending money, and you’re an LA resident, tap in with https://t.co/cNQdN6zv4H and let us know what’s good!

Tomorrow, Council will vote on whether to approve the donation of a “Quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicle” AKA a “robot dog” for LAPD Metro’s SWAT. I’m voting “no” and we need Angelenos to tap in and call on their Councilmembers to do the same.

Join the #PoliceFreeLAUSD coalition for a Press Conference - TOMORROW @ 3pm!! 🔥
We will be launching survey results from our survey! Hear from 2,000+ students about their access to mental health resources, community based safety programs & support for Black students.
LAPD, responding community pressure, is finally admitting that we do NOT need cops responding to mental health crises, “panhandling,” welfare checks & more. We agree. And while we’re removing duties, we should also remove funding. #DefundLAPD

For 7 months, LAUSD has refused to bargain with educators for increased salaries, small class sizes, + fully staffed schools.
Our schools deserve better. Join us as we support our educators on 12/5 and demand the district bargain with @UTLANow. #NoTimetoLose
.@LA_StudentsDsrv Survey for Black students, parents & ALL families @LASchools : How are you experiencing BSAP resources? Are mental health/community resources provided @ your school? What additional resources are needed to affirm & support your youth? https://t.co/gu6SmE6kN3
This is a show & prove moment for current union leaders
If all congress has to do is say u can't strike, then u wont have a union
We're in the middle of the biggest strike wave since the 40s. 1000s of strikes in 2 years. Workers are ready to fight. Union leaders have to step up
Biden & congress voting to block railway workers from striking-
theyre attempting to deal the biggest blow to the labor mvmnt in 40 years.
Theyre attempting to take away the power to strike, attempting to take away the power of unions.
This strike wave will smack them hard.
Some estimates suggest that 1.2 MILLION people marched through the streets of the capital, quite possibly the largest demo in Mexican history, certainly among the largest ever in the hemisphere.
And what do I see from the Western left? Tweets about a tiny demo in China.
BREAKING - During the first-ever strike by UC Academic Researchers & Postdoctoral Scholars, workers have won a groundbreaking tentative agreement that includes wages that reflect the cost of living & the highest academic salary scale for Postdocs anywhere.
ASEs and SRs are next!
