Communities of color in the Bay Area are most impacted by gas appliance pollution & unhealthy air quality. @AirDistrict can deliver healthier air by voting YES on the nation's 1st standard to gradually transition homes to pollution-free heat. https://t.co/Lq4HwqRF4L

As part of #WorldHomelessDay2022, read about our CEO Aubrey Merriman's reflections on bringing back hope - today and everyday - and how to take action: https://t.co/2Mfny2CT8t

[LifeMoves @LifeMovesOrg]

This #WorldHomelessDay2022, we must further highlight the issues of homelessness while inviting our community to make a difference, together. As we raise awareness, we must raise our impact.

Wrote about a homeless encampment in Marin County and why ‘awareness’ doesn’t quite work when everyone is well aware of a crisis but nobody feels like they can do much about it. My debut column for @NewYorker! Read me every Tuesday and Friday AM! https://t.co/7NQSkh3kAg

Why I celebrate Filipino American History Month - "For Filipino Americans, it's a battle for recognition, for identity in a culture where, for the mainstream, Asians tend to fade into a monochromatic racialized other" -- Jose Antonio Vargas https://t.co/i6gsnKavjj

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Jill and I are proud to recognize Filipino American History Month and celebrate the innumerable contributions and rich heritage of Filipino Americans across our nation.

We support, honor, and thank you for all you have done to help fulfill the promise of America for all of us.

Here's a quote you won't soon forget: "The average housed person will fold like a house of cards within a week if they have to do what unhoused people who have lived out here for years." @TheoHen95302259 https://t.co/6qJl2ifSL4

@marciemarketing @FilAmARTS I didn’t! I live up in the bay now and I’m also out of town, but it looked like an amazing event from everyone’s posts! Congrats to you and the rest of the team!

[Ben Biscocho Jr. @ben_biscocho]

@FilAmARTS and FPAC hold a very special place in my heart -- it's where I learned how to represent my culture and be a community advocate. If you're in LA this Saturday, don't miss out on #FPAC2022 at Levitt Pavilion! https://t.co/Bd8ulmqMLm

Thank you to Asmblymember @Ash_Kalra for awarding @LifeMovesOrg the 2022 Leader in Community Empowerment Award! New Haven Inn was only the 2nd LGBTQ-focused shelter in the nation when we opened in 2018. So happy our team is being recognized for their dedication to the community!

Reminder: homelessness *is* a choice.

Not of the people who experience it, but of the policymakers who create, sustain and exacerbate it.

We can choose otherwise.
