@Rodrigo4NYC Also me …like what 🤯?

Unwritten rules are inequitable. If you still insist on judging job candidates on whether or not they write a thank-you note after interviews, put this in your job posting: “Submit resume and cover. If you get interviewed, you must write us a thank-you note after each interview.”

[Vu Le (with one E) @NonprofitAF]

Hello @TheENDFund thanks for all your important work. Please #ShowTheSalary on your job postings. I read through your justifications of why you don’t do it, and they’re not enough to compensate for the inequity that salary cloaking creates. Please reconsider. TY.

[VOW for Girls @vowforgirls]

Breonna Taylor was shot and killed by police during the execution of a “no knock” drug warrant. Taylor’s death is yet another example of the violence that the American drug policies, rooted in racism, were designed to produce. Justice for Breonna Taylor! https://t.co/VFxpgkFJl0

It’s the age where we care not only about the message but the messenger, not only about what we consume but who is feeding it to us. Orgs and companies need to do right from within!! It’s about time. #okayafrica

Coming out of Twitter hiatus because the country is on fire and these are conversations I (and many others) have been trying to have for years. It’s like when you’ve been the boy who cried wolf but the wolf was actually always there.🐺 😳 #BlackLivesMatter

Here is a #BetterQuestions for #CannesLions Where's the good? #whycannes #smokefree #CannesLions2019

[Quit Big Tobacco @QuitBigTobacco]

Are you at the @Cannes_Lions? Philip Morris has a session today--in the SOCIAL GOOD track. Cigarettes kill about 1 in 2 smokers. @InsidePMI will produce 800 billion cigarettes this year + they just launched a new cigarette brand. Where's the good? #WhyCannes #CannesLions

[Quit Big Tobacco @QuitBigTobacco]

.@InsidePMI is at @Cannes_Lions selling the lie they want a smoke-free world. We’re not buying. Using a global network of cool, young influencers to promote a new product on social is not a tactic to get smokers to quit. #WhyCannes #CannesLions @Reuters https://t.co/p8ayz2MPwv

[Quit Big Tobacco @QuitBigTobacco]

Philip Morris is at @Cannes_Lions this morning to convince creatives to help with their deceptive "unsmoke" campaign. They really want to sell more #nicotine products and addict the next generation. Why are they in the social good program? #WhyCannes #WhyPhilipMorris #CannesLions

[Quit Big Tobacco @QuitBigTobacco]

Philip Morris is at the #CannesLions to lure creative talent for their “smoke-free” initiative. But it's a guise - they just launched a new cigarette brand this year. Creatives, do you really want to do big tobacco’s dirty work? #WhyCannes #WhyPhilipMorris https://t.co/jHrB5NlW50

[Yayne Hailu @YayneSays]

Hmmm one of these sells products that kill 1 in 2 users ...so #whycannes do you want them on your stage for social good?

[Quit Big Tobacco @QuitBigTobacco]

Why is #tobacco giant Philip Morris in the social good program at the #CannesLions festival, sharing the stage with @UN_Women, @Greenpeace, @sesamestreet and @WFP? They'll produce 800 billion cigarettes this year. #WhyCannes #WhyPhilipMorris https://t.co/jHrB5NlW50 @Cannes_Lions

[Quit Big Tobacco @QuitBigTobacco]

#WhyCannes: Why are the @Cannes_Lions putting tobacco giant Philip Morris in their SOCIAL GOOD program? @InsidePMI produces 800 billion cigs/year, markets new products to kids, & just launched a new cigarette brand.

.@bogusky: Twenty years ago, I helped create the first commercial for the anti-smoking Truth campaign. Now with the sleek, tech guise of vapes, Big Tobacco is quietly at it again. https://t.co/mTQJ1VpU3Z

Great news for an important cause!

@Kassabeee @TakeleUma @DrSenait @lia_tadesse @GetachewSS @TheReporterET Road safety is absolutely a major public health issue in ET (and many African countries) because of a lack of strict enforcement of road rules and consequences generally. Unfortunately ppl respond the most when it hurts their $$ so lobbying for fines and penalty could be key.
