Today at the San Ysidro port of entry in Tijuana I watched as MX and US authorities allowed 26 Ukrainian asylum seekers to enter the U.S. and turned away a Mexican family who'd been waiting alongside them, saying they couldn't seek asylum bc of Title 42 and would have to wait. 🧵

Probably close to 400 LAPD officers spread out all throughout Echo Park Lake, over 100 police cars (packed w/ 4 cops each), 3 busses, 2 helicopters, & other city departments getting ready to throw people's belongings, etc. Tax dollars spent to criminalize poverty.
#EchoParkRiseUp
every LAPD helicopter costs $1200/hr to operate so the five (5) of them currently circling echo park costs LA $6k an HOUR. like, what if you just gave people the $6k instead of paying it to violently displace them #EchoParkRiseUp

Valuable lesson that I share w/ my parents: making the most out of every paycheck until retirement can bring the opportunity to save, invest, & possibly earn profit/interest so when they retire they won't have to work again but enjoy their retirement! @CFEfund#SummerJobsConnect
This summer I learned that hard earned money should NOT be spend recklessly b/c it does NOT grow on trees. Creating & sticking to a spending plan can allow us to limit and keep track of spending so that I minimize my chances of being broke #SummerJobsConnect@CFEfund@LAEWDD
Aside from hosting financial literacy wrkshps @ my worksite, I also get to network/build relations with amazing, educated, & successful ppl (hopefully bcome my life mentors). I also get to learn from professionals with degrees before I even earn mine! #SummerJobsConnect@CFEfund
I value money management bcus having a spending plan 4 every paycheck allows me 2 pay 4 my necessary expenses (rent for my dorm & other bills). I get to live close to campus but it is NOT cheap. It's definitely takes hard work, dedication, & budgeting! @CFEfund#SummerJobsConnect
A few mths ago I went 2 buy decorations 4 my dorm & my wallet was stolen
Unfortunately, I had $200+ in my wallet & it was all gone
I learned the hard way 2 always deposit all of my money into my checkings & savings bcus the FDIC has me insured! #SummerJobsConnect@CFEfund@LAEWDD
My favorite part of my job was the training by the FDIC because I gained valuable banking knowledge that will be useful for life. My 2nd favorite part is taking that knowledge back to my community & participants showing interested in learning. @LAEWDD#SummerJobsConnect@CFEfund
