It's not enough to say that CUNY matters; we need to see it in the state budget.

Deputy Public Advocate Elizabeth Kennedy & team marched against tuition hikes & to demand a #NewDeal4CUNY, with free mental health & transportation services and equitable wages for faculty & staff.

All of that extra police training and funding, the conversations with communities, and new technology and this was the result. 3.2 killings per day.

[Samuel Sinyangwe @samswey]

Police killed more people in America in 2022 than any other year on record. At least 1,176 people were killed by police nationwide - 3.2 killings per day. https://t.co/0VQVssR82S

@emiIywho @BringDaNoyz I gotta agree. I wanna read it again!

In two weeks, the ACO REACH program begins. It further entrenches the role of some of the same insurance providers that defrauded the taxpayer and violated healthcare law via Medicare Advantage.

We can still abandon this program...and we should. @CMSGov

What does #RishiSunak’s role as PM really mean for brown folks and people of color as a whole? Are #identitypolitics really progress? Some of @BrownGirlMag’s UK team and readers shared their thoughts in this piece. Are we #ready4rishi?

[Brown Girl Magazine @BrownGirlMag]

🇬🇧 Rishi Sunak is the UK's next Prime Minister.

As the first person of colour to become PM, as well as from South Asian heritage, we want to know your opinions, is he positive representation?

BGM's UK Team have previously shared theres👇🏽

This thread is one of the wildest cases highlighting extreme discrimination and the blatant cover-up by politicians & court officials alike. This is just ONE case. Imagine how many innocent ppl are still locked up all bc of pure nepotism and our racist #criminaljustice system

[ismary ✨🇨🇺 @ismarygp]

Last year, I started investigating a 1997 murder for a class. Most people who knew about this case were too scared to speak to me.

I couldn’t fathom why.

But as I peeled back the layers, I started discovering things I wasn’t meant to know. 1/

tw: murder, rape, suicide

15 people have died so far this year on #rikersisland. As we move to close the infamous jail & open smaller borough jails, #nyc must prioritize the health, safety, & humanity of all those incarcerated. Here are a few suggestions to get us there @nycpa @NYCMayor @DianaAyalaNYC

[Scholars Strategy Network (bsky: @scholars.org) @SSNScholars]

In her brief, @erinnbacchus explores how NYC must put, "the health, safety, and needs of incarcerated people," first as the city opens, "four new, borough-based jails with the aim of providing more humane treatment."

It was an honor to work with a group of motivated and intelligent academics/advocates exploring how nyc can work to close racial health gaps and attain racial equity. Check out our work below!

[Scholars Strategy Network (bsky: @scholars.org) @SSNScholars]

Last month, a cohort of @CUNYSPH scholars came together to publish policy briefs proposing specific actions NYC can take to make progress in reducing the health gaps and racial inequalities that now characterize the city.

1. Hello. Amazon today announced it would pay $1.7 billion to acquire iRobot, the company behind the Roomba robotic vacuum.

It may be the most dangerous, threatening acquisition in the company's history. A thread.

THREAD: There’s a lot of talk right now about crime in San Francisco. Almost everything you’ll read in the mainstream press is wrong. I live in the Tenderloin and work in the courts every day. Here’s my take on what’s happening and why.

[Erinn @erinnbacchus]

@Almeida_de_Dr @meagan_hamblin @OpenAcademics This is mind boggling to me as a PhD student in the U.S. I’m in my 3rd year and have taken one vacation which was a pre-planned vacation that I had set up before starting my program. It was maybe 10 days total. I’m exhausted

What many people don’t realize is that *they* are possibly one Covid infection (or any other illness) away from becoming someone with a disability or chronic health problem or underlying condition themselves. You know, someone “high risk.” People are healthy…until they’re not.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Too many people spend their lives being dutiful descendants instead of good ancestors.

The responsibility of each generation is not to please their predecessors. It's to improve things for their offspring.

It's more important to make your children proud than your parents proud.

[Matt Hughes @matthughes212]

We can't close the racial wealth gap without anti-racist housing policies.

@nzewde, Raz Edwards, and @erinnbacchus explore what that could look like in this excellent new @rooseveltinst report: https://t.co/Ufhc0U4z0o

[Naomi Zewde ናሆሜ @nzewde]

You know those well-priced co-ops on Street Easy all over Harlem & BK?

In this report, we scrape the site and find 8 in 10 Black households within the income limit can't meet the huge required downpayment.

Then we imagine what anti-racist housing policy might really look like♥️

[Roosevelt Institute @rooseveltinst]

Racist housing policies are excluding more than half of Black American households from homeownership.

We need to end redlining for good. @nzewde, Raz Edwards, and @erinnbacchus explain what it will take: https://t.co/aytoFgm6Oo
