Another queer, feminist political advocate in PDX. Building power w/ moms & caregivers at @familyforward & @motherpac. @OpenPortland Commish. Opinions my own.

@RepLCD Free speech is a bedrock of American democracy. We need you to Vote NO on H.R. 9495. Our right to advocate for #timetocare depends on the right to free speech.

When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims.

If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline.

If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state.

Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.

[Courtney Veronneau (she/her) @cmhelstein]

Well, people who are already mothers make up the largest group of people who have had an abortion so I think they would like to hear about both equally. It’s all reproductive justice…

If you're going to talk about child care, you better talk about forced child birth first

[Akilah Hughes @AkilahObviously]

They shoulda just done hot ones and whoever lived can have it

[Courtney Veronneau (she/her) @cmhelstein]

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but do we really need to publish all of them? Another illuminating example of the importance of cultural competency.

When you find out who doesn’t have Asian friends.

Could the @HillsboroPolice (and all police for that matter) take their fucking boot of the necks of BIPOC folks? If police are annoyed by community’s lack in trust of them, then stop doing untrustworthy shit!

[Marchel @DearMarchel]

I got pulled over by @HillsboroPolice after a late night Dairy Queen trip. The officer claims the registered owner of the vehicle has a suspended license…. I’m the first and only registered owner for this car …. So they profiled me + lied. Fucking losers.

As an ER doc and health care advocate I couldn’t care less about @SenKatieBritt's cringe performance in this video that many are roasting. It is the substance of the bill she is pushing that makes me truly cringe. Here’s why: 🧵1/7

Putting a baby in a freezer would kill it, but freezing embryos keeps them alive. That's why an embryo isn't a baby. Hope that helps if you're very stupid <3

[Home Grown @HomeGrownOrg]

The current child care system faces inequities that can be traced back to many historically racist and sexist policies and practices. Black women made up the original child care workforce through forced labor during slavery and afterwards. #BlackHistoryMonth #ChildCare

[Child Care for Every Family @CC4EFN]

Network members @ChildCareForOR and @familyforward center the expertise of a mother who became homeless b/c she couldn't afford #childcare & a mom who went back to work 7 days post c-section to pay for care.

This is how we make real change happen. 💪

It’s 2024 and the @WSJ still pushes out this type of garbage.

Reckless. Bigoted. Islamophobic.

Dearborn is one of the greatest American cities in our nation.

- fastest growing city in MI
- home to the #1 travel destination in MI (Greenfield Village / Henry Ford Museum)
- home of @Ford Motor Company
- coffee/food/culture capital of MI
- among the most diverse cities in MI

Do better, @WSJ.

White supremacy values property over actual people. Once again, not surprised by the actions of the US. But damn, it is still soul crushing to watch.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

If you are Israel & you kill 23,000 Palestinians in 3 months, the US will fund you, provide you diplomatic cover & unconditional military aid.

If you are Yemen & kill 0 people & block a shipping route to try to stop this mass murder, the US will drop 100 bombs on you.

Unreal.

Marchel Marcos (@dearmarchel) is a parent, the PPACE director at @APANO and a small business owner. At yesterday's #FundChildCareNOW event, she shared her concerns re: Oregon's #childcarecrisis...

[Child Care for Oregon @ChildCareForOR]

"I want legislators to understand that poverty drives hunger and the cost of child care drives poverty. Without access to affordable child care, we can’t work and we can’t keep food on the table."

Luz deserves the world. The least we could give her is affordable child care.

[Child Care for Every Family @CC4EFN]

Luz is a local leader with @familyforward and serves on our Parent & Family Constituency Group! We're so grateful to @HuffPost for amplifying her story and experience trying to find #childcare that works.
