NYC population data has people 20-40 as ~30% of the population of NYC. BLS data suggests exactly this slice of the population is disproportionately employed in food service & accommodations. The city has reopened restaurants.

Who needs to do better, exactly?

#BlackLivesMatter protests have resonated around the world. In #Palestine, George Floyd’s murder has struck a special chord.

As @PhyllisBennis and @kpYES explain, in the US and #Israel, "police violence is rooted in long legacies of #racism." @NYDailyNews https://t.co/1DmF7V1Xbd

.@NoNewJailsDC is demanding ALL people being held at the DC jail are immediately released to prevent further community spread. Call and tweet @CMCharlesAllen and Chief judge Robert E. Morin to demand decarceration. Sample call-in script & tweets here: https://t.co/wX2tDwt7mT

[Love + Solidarity @LSCdc]

Four people have tested positive for COVID-19 at the DC jail and an urgent intervention is needed. Councilmember Charles Allen, is drafting emergency legislation to release people who are within 6 months of completing their sentence. This legislation does not go far enough.

ICE and CBP agents are no heroes and the agencies should be abolished.

Activists occupying @Chase Bank branch in DC w/ a clear call to #RejectTeck!

The Teck mine would be a deadly tar sands disaster, trample Indigenous rights, & shatter Canada’s climate targets.

It’s time to #StopTheMoneyPipeline funding these terrible projects. #FireDrillFriday

Public transit isn't just a civil right. It's a key strategy to combat climate change.

On Feb 4th 2020, thousands will mobilize to ensure that we have accessible, climate-friendly transit that creates good jobs and vital infrastructure: https://t.co/MUpD8mNTof #transitequityday

Injured Amazon warehouse workers are protesting today in Chicago. I talked to a former worker and organizer about conditions in automated warehouses, like Illinois' MWD7, and why Chicago is such a critical spot for Amazon labor organizing. https://t.co/gRzg859I4T
