“In a disaster like this, of course people need cash, because water bottles aren’t wealth.”

This is why we launched Dena Care Collective alongside @FWD_platform & @AjaLBrown—to get direct cash to folks impacted by the Eaton Fire.

@elonmusk Govtech expert here! Good tech isn’t attractive for government co-sellers, which ultimately kills efficiency and innovation. In order to fast track transforming government innovation, opening up the procurement channel is essential. I wrote a white paper in July. Happy to share!

[Aja Brown @AjaLBrown]

Grateful for champions like @jainfamilyinst and @nikasoonshiong to partner with for the benefit of community! Merging social impact, with policy, private philanthropy, community leaders and technology is a powerful (and efficient) force!

We investigate the impacts of guaranteed income—regular cash payments with no strings attached—to low-income households in Compton, CA on outcomes including labor supply, income, spending, debt, and psychological well-being through a randomized controlled trial.

[JAIN FAMILY INSTITUTE @jainfamilyinst]

We sincerely acknowledge @nikasoonshiong and @AjaLBrown for their significant contributions to the success of this research project.

Just a quick reminder that forgiveness isn’t a feeling it’s a decision!💕

Glad CA is taking action on this issue to protect our kids from sex trafficking. #SB14

Just an idea for our lawmakers (this is something everyone SHOULD agree on): Everyday our justice system fails to protect children from pedophiles & repeat offenders by offering plea deals enabling them to avoid jail time w/ “slaps on the wrist” for RAPING KIDS.🧵

ALL things work together for the good of those that love the Lord and are called according to HIS purpose. A new generation is rising!🔥 Salute to this young man + great leader. Oftentimes, it’s not what you go through, but how you go through. Only the beginning. #TenesseeThree

[Aja Brown @AjaLBrown]

We really must get back to basics and prioritize the safety and welfare of our kids.

[Aja Brown @AjaLBrown]

I truly do not understand how people can be free after being convicted for shattering a child’s innocence. It’s disgusting. There’s layers to this, but so much of our system is slanted away from protecting women and girls, especially from child rape and domestic violence.

[Aja Brown @AjaLBrown]

@TruthsTable Thank you sisters!🙏🏾🫶🏽

[Aja Brown @AjaLBrown]

@usedgov Congratulations to my fellow public service workers that have received forgiveness. @usedgov - I hope my letter is in the mail. I served 17 years in underserved cities and paid my student loans faithfully. I applied twice for good measure.

Don’t you wish legislators were this intense on issues that actually matter to the American people?

Memo to the media: Please don't say inflation is at a 40-year high without also mentioning that corporate profits are at a 70-year high. Give the people the full picture.

Warrior queen @DoloresHuerta (at 92!) is still out here setting people straight:
1. Human creation came from Africa - so we’re all Africans.
2. White supremacist need to get over themselves because you’re all African!
3. Farmworkers are in fact Essential Workers- pay them!
