Why should we center our most impacted communities in climate change policies? Check out my blog post to find out!

[Greenlining @Greenlining]

#ClimateChange is here and California must adapt without leaving low-income neighborhoods behind.

To do it right, decision-makers should listen to the voices of the most impacted communities, @HeyMissDeejay explains, and previews our upcoming report.

I will give $1,000/mo for the next 12 months FREE to someone who retweets this and follows me by July 4th 😃 Let's show why money is the answer & why this is the campaign for people. No purchase necessary. US citizens only. https://t.co/ie7DMHJ86X

The Trump administration recently released an #ImmigrationReform plan. @BruceMirken explains how it would have kept his family out and how it throws “give us your tired, your poor” out the window.

Environmental Equity Senior Policy Analyst @sonamohnot explains how #ClimateChange grants can help underserved communities, but grant programs must make social equity a focus from the start in Greenlining's latest report.

The systems that we live in aren’t always fair or equitable, especially towards people of color. So we're pushing the California Legislature for real action for our communities.

The median Uber driver takes home just $8.55 an hour.
Last year, Uber paid its top 5 executives $143 million.

Our country does not struggle with scarcity. We struggle with greed. Proud to stand with the Uber and Lyft drivers striking around the world today. ✊🏽

[Alvaro S. Sanchez @alvaros_views]

Hey @Uber and @lyft you want to get in the transportation business (even though you try to say you don’t), it’s time to start treating your most important employees (drivers) with the dignity and respect they deserve.

#uberstrike #LyftStrike

Don’t cross the picket line ✊🏾

[Greenlining @Greenlining]

We're supporting the global #UberLyftStrike today. While billionaire bosses profit off disrupting our #publictransit systems, millions of drivers are being denied basic workers’ rights.

IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!

Live our values! Don't Uber or Lyft today. https://t.co/PH8hTHoFiM

@toozengalleries Omg! Let me know when 😁😁

[Greenlining @Greenlining]

Hospitals are a vital part of healthcare system & represent $230 billion of California's economy. It’s time they start supporting diverse businesses too.

New blog by @anthonygalace on why supporting @autumnrburke’s bill #AB962 benefits all Californians. https://t.co/t0YgjnuRjt

[Greenlining @Greenlining]

No one should face discrimination for wearing cornrows or an afro to work, so why it is legal to do so?

In a new blog, @DiasporaSpeaks explains how #SB188, the #MyCrown bill by Sen. @HollyJMitchell can enable California to ban hair discrimination. https://t.co/amQOurpyke

"We need to act fast and mobilize, and we have no other option but to set these targets if we're going to avoid climate chaos,"says @hanacreger
