"This quote from Dr. King — “True compassion isn't tossing a coin to a beggar, it is restructuring an edifice that produces beggars” — I think actually sums up much of what King stood for" https://t.co/xPBw06gvYz

@iamjohnoliver @LastWeekTonight Hey @iamjohnoliver and @LastWeekTonight: When talking corporate taxes & incentives, don't forget many low-wage workers rely on #SNAP, which is funded by #taxes (which many companies pay so little of). https://t.co/TJjoePmI9i @newfoodeconomy @GoodJobsFirst @ilsr #EndHunger #Jobs

[Alyssa Casey @AlyssaRCasey]

#Amazon pays wages so low, employees have to use #SNAP. Amazon profits again by accepting SNAP payments. Not to mention they've paid little if any federal #taxes and rec'd $1.2 billion in corporate incentives. https://t.co/TJjoePmI9i @newfoodeconomy #talkpoverty #jobs #endhunger

The Sudanese regime is maintaining extensive ties with active extremist organizations, yet the U.S. is considering next steps on the path to full normalization of relations with Sudan. It's not the right time. #SudanTerrorIsTerror https://t.co/jEY7OfjR35
