.@MayorBowser DC residents and @councilofdc are calling on you to support migrants being bused here! We can afford to do so using the $500 million FY22 budget surplus. Will you prove that DC is a real Sanctuary City and support our new neighbors? #NoSanctuaryinThisCity
It’s time for DC to undo the harms of systemic racism and injustice. As a Ward 1 voter, I'm calling for @BrianneKNadeau@councilofdc to support putting revenue on the table to build a more inclusive economy. #JustRecoveryDC
We can’t tolerate flat funding or cuts in the DC budget that deepen inequities. @councilofdc, a #JustRecoveryDC must include new revenue to support residents and reduce racial and economic disparities in the District.
By collectively raising the voices of our organizations, our members, and the general public, we can create the necessary pressure to bring new revenue resources to bear to create a #JustRecoveryDC.
Join me in asking @ChmnMendelson & @councilofdc to put people first in FY21.
A #JustRecoveryDC to-do list for @ChmnMendelson@councilofdc:
✅Make the wealthy pay their fair share
✅Reject corporate demands for more costly, ineffective tax loopholes
✅Use more rainy day funds to address immediate needs
A DC teacher making $60K pays the same tax rate as a CEO making $350k. Does that seem fair to you? A #JustRecoveryDC means people earning 350K+ pay their fair share to help those suffering due to the pandemic.
The Mayor’s FY21 budget proposal cuts funds for those suffering most, like homelessness outreach and home visiting. I’m calling on @councilofdc to include new revenue in the budget to minimize harm and reduce disparities. #JustRecoveryDC
The recent police violence against Black communities reminds us that fair budget & tax policy is Black liberation work. We're calling on @councilofdc to put revenue on the table to ensure a #JustRecoveryDC that reduces disparities and harm against Black communities. @FairBudgetDC
60% of young people volunteer because their friends do. When thinking #causemarketing, leveraging friends and sharing can be more impactful than big, flashy, (near-impossible) celeb campaigns. - @dosomething’s
@AriaIrene. Music to my ears! #SocialCapital2020
Just heard at #SocialCapital2020 that @patagonia’s #blackfriday campaign (which resulted in $10M given to environmental causes) was conceptualized by a graphic designer then run up the chain + approved by the CEO/founder in under 30 min. We need more corporate culture like that!
Loving this framing mechanism for thinking about what #socialmedia means today. Can’t be a megaphone anymore! (Or at least, you can’t be a megaphone and expect results). #sproutsessions
The 3rd annual meeting of the RBM Partnership to #endmalaria Strategic Communications Partner Committee has just ended! Many thanks to all the Partners who have joined us in Geneva. https://t.co/BoD62MolRy
Pssst did you know a new #mosquitoemoji was released today?! Update your phone to see it - and visit the @Terminix page to RT this tweet. Each RT send $10 to @nothingbutnets!!
Let’s use the new 🦟 emoji to help fight 👊 against a deadly disease. For every RT, we’ll donate $10 to @NothingButNets to provide critical malaria protection, such as bed nets, to vulnerable families worldwide. Help us reach our goal of 2,500 nets! #mosquitoemoji#endmalaria
I’m not going to sugarcoat anything. We lost a tough fight. And it hurts. What happened today will touch every single person in this country, in some very real & terrible ways. But it’s OK to step back for a minute, take a breath, & lean on the shoulder of someone you love.
Though the connection between #malaria and #genderequality may not be obvious at first, the two are deeply related. Learn more in this blog by @nothingbutnets' Executive Director @mmcdonnellnets: https://t.co/4vTvRFAUu0
