We did it! Today marks the end of our first official month of walking and organizing for the 2022 GirlTrek season. We hope you are inspired as we head into the weekend. If so, plan to join us live tomorrow for the last day of bootcamp! We’re celebrating the ultimate crew - YOU!

Registration seems smooth but no relevant slots for my two kids! Slots really went quickly and some facilities are not available as with last year. CBOs have had to re-locate to non-homeschool site, causing some anxiety given the unfamiliarity for both kids and staff!

[Michael Elsen-Rooney @MichaelElsenRoo]

Summer Rising slots going very quickly this year - 62,000 of 110,00 spots claimed as of 5pm yesterday, 2 days after registration opened + have heard some sites already hitting capacity. Parents, schools, CBOs - how’s registration going? https://t.co/JPZdP3V4s4

People will tell you she doesn’t make the cut. 

She wasn’t a true supermodel. Too androgynous. Too loud. Not pretty enough. Her own boyfriend said she had a grotesque beauty. Boy bye. 

Join us for the juice at 12pm ET.

One piece of data I’m seeing: the subway stations + other infrastructure rebuilt post-Hurricane Sandy for climate resilience *worked.*

It was areas that *didn’t* get investment that suffered.

We shouldn’t wait for climate disaster to rebuild & prepare- that’s what GND is about.

@GovKathyHochul People are out of work or had/have lost income due to COVID. How do we reconcile the continued support to folks while businesses are struggling to hire? What’s impacting people getting back into the workplace?

Frederick Douglass explored this paradox in his "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" speech, emphasizing that American slavery & freedom is a shared history & that the actions of ordinary men & women to demand freedom transformed our nation. More: https://t.co/LP64ddw95W

1) 55 companies paid NO corporate Taxes & made $40 BILLION in Profits last year.

2) Only .03% of Americans would have taxes raised.

3) 650 people increased their wealth by ONE trillion in ONE year

Yet, you want to argue that the tax code shouldn't be changed??
