State-local alignment is going to be critical if we're to make the most out of this moment and build back a stronger, more cohesive, sustainable and resilient society. So thrilled @CitiesCatalyst can play a role in this great initiative with #California communities and @Cal_OPR
This is incredibly disappointing to hear - and incredibly inequitable. The data shows our most vulnerable community members typically have longer working commutes given the large scale housing crisis. Putting the harm on the individual and not on investing in transit is BAD
via @NYTimes as devastating as Isaias was for many, it was less damaging than it may have been. We’re just at the beginning of hurricane season in the US—let’s all prepare for what still may come. https://t.co/WmNZ5Fv9LB https://t.co/RzqGEVjPG0
So thrilled this is out !! I’m a contributor to #AllWeCanSave - a thoughtful, breathless, inspiring, somber, gritty, poetic, action-oriented & diverse chorus of voices magically captured in one book by editors @ayanaeliza + @DrKWilkinson
New work from @verainstitute: Current data on police spending from 72 of the biggest cities in the country, from city police spending per capita to stats on overpolicing of communities of color.

Millions of Americans woke up this morning in homes now (correctly) mapped to greater flood risk. FEMA’s maps were always a cobbled, political mess, @FirstStreetFdn takes a crack at fixing. Great work! https://t.co/nxg22RrH6a
Does this mean Amazon is getting rid of the delivery trucks on every corner, every day? No more wasteful boxing and packaging? No more inhumane conditions at warehouses? No more marketing to fossil fuel companies? Because that would be a Climate Plegde! https://t.co/hxoXtjBR9n
Excited (and slightly terrified) to announce that I just agreed to write a book about the social and political life of the #CoronavirusPandemic, based on a massive global research project at @nyu_ipk. It's tentatively titled *2020: A Social Autopsy,* to be published by @AAKnopf.
Summer of Extremes: A conversation about race, inequality, #COVID19 & #ClimateChange, tonight at 8 ET/7CT. We will be talking about Chicago and the 25th anniversary of the great #HeatWave. But wherever you are, join us. @CookedTheFilm@judithhelfand https://t.co/Td8cFITGb2
Exciting to see California leadership in the climate mitigation space—this is the right time for these moves. Lets also not miss the opportunity to leverage COVID recovery processes to build just, equitable, and resilient places that work for all! https://t.co/v8ah63J7qE
via @NYTimes yet more alarming evidence of the disproportionate burden black women and their families carry, and the wide ranging direct impacts of climate change on people’s lives. https://t.co/ZwyhrC51Tv
