Great piece by @rachjuramirez on a big win for Vanuatu and the Pacific! What a powerful example of what Pasifika people can do together in our sea of islands!!

It has been our firm’s immense privilege to serve as @VanuatuUN’s legal team in their campaign to seek an advisory opinion on #climatechange from the International Court of Justice. Today is a day to celebrate.

BREAKING: 48,000 academic workers at the University of California have begun the largest higher education strike in U.S. history. The UC workers, represented by @UAW, are picketing at all 10 UC campuses this morning.
A federal judge tonight vacated the Presidents executive order to forgive student loans on a mass basis as unlawful. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who feel that transferring 1/2 trillion dollars from working people to college graduates is crazy.
