[Reclaim Philadelphia @reclaimphila]

.@philamuseum continues to disrespect its workers, Philadelphians and Matisse by refusing to negotiate a fair contract, not showing up for 2 negotiating meetings and using scab labor to install a new Matisse exhibit. Join @PMA_Union on the picket line this weekend in solidarity!

[Nia | The Chronic Notebook @chronicnotebook]

It still shocks me that people wake up everyday and just feel... healthy. No pain, no fatigue, no headache, no stomach ache, no joint pains just... a body floating through the day. As a chronically ill person I literally cannot imagine or remember what that feels like.

[RMG @r_merrigold]

would love to see if you or anyone else @TheAtlantic would be interested in writing a piece about this historic/precedent setting struggle for EJ + land justice + democracy, can we talk? dm me or email me @ [email protected]

[RMG @r_merrigold]

@JerusalemDemsas hiya, we went to W&M together! since then, I've been organizing w/ @PhillyThrive, the community org that won the closure of Philly's oil refinery in 2020, ending 150+ yrs of enviro racism...now we're fighting for justice in Philly’s biggest redev in 300+ years 🌻

[RMG @r_merrigold]

we're trying to get nat'l press coverage of non-violent direct action residents are taking in oct/nov, demanding an end to deadly oil tanks in our backyards, immediate resident involvement in future land use planning, and robust reinvestment (10s of millions) in S/SW philly

[kyle cL @kycarrerolopez]

i really think you would most understand my self-conception of gender if you spun around six times before looking at me

[erika guadalupe 🐜 @monequiltia]

[Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis @RevJacquiLewis]

The absurdity of capitalism is laid bare in its conviction that we can terraform Mars, but can’t afford to heal our own climate.

We will never become what we refuse to imagine.

[Philly Thrive @PhillyThrive]

Tax the Rich Coalition has won some big victories over the last few weeks - including the withdrawal of a bill giving parking lot owners major tax breaks.
Council will be voting on the final 2 proposed tax breaks tomorrow morning, June 17th!

I have such an organizer crush on Amistad's work!

[Amistad Law Project @AmistadLaw]

in the past two weeks we launched our #PracticalAbolition animated series which details different ways we can replace policing with living alternatives

Check out this write up about the series by the artist who brought it to life @erikruin!

[Brandon Bradford @BrandonLBradfor]

When Harriet Tubman was born, Thomas Jefferson was alive, and when Harriet Tubman died, Ronald Reagan was alive. We have not been around that long.
