Talked to my 7 yo stepson yesterday about the #Thanksgiving story of #pilgrims and how when bullies get to tell the story, they don’t always tell the whole truth. But when we talk to the victims/survivors we get a more true story. #knowyourhistory #crt

Today we pause to honor the memories of those we lost to a domestic terror attack, and renew our pledge to stand together against hate.

Pennsylvania’s courts are at stake in the 2021 elections. The good news is that all registered voters can vote for these candidates! Check out who we’re endorsing in the upcoming general election: https://t.co/f7FFS1kxMB #PAVotes

All the more reason why local decision-makers need to protect our waterways from short-sighted, narrow-minded developments that jeopardize our long term environmental health. 🌱♻️🧐

[Conservation Voters of PA @ConservationPA]

Did you know that PA is a water rich state boasting 86,000 miles of waterways? Sadly, one-third are so polluted that they are considered "impaired". That's why our legislators need to create the Clean Streams fund, devoted solely to cleaning up our waterways. #AmericanRescuePlan

Retweet if you believe Election Day should be a federal holiday.

[Lydia Laythe @LydiaLaythe]

Can you retweet yourself when you’re feeling tired & appreciate the snark of an earlier self?

LOVE when #legislators push for legalized marijuana before they even consider ending #cashbail #mandatoryminimums #deathpenalty #policebrutality #racialprofiling Please -by all means- enjoy your “liberal” moment... but maybe #legalize being Black & Brown in #America first 🤷🏼‍♀️

Are you #PRESSED about the way local government is handling the county #budget, #humanservices, the office of children and youth, the county #prison system, local #economicdevelopment, #publichealth and more? Or do you want to see some of those departments supported even more?
