1 million extremely low income households in the Bay Area make an average of <$18k, spending a huge % of their income on rent making them vulnerable to homelessness. They are both elderly and disabled but also working families w children. They are us and need affordable housing
We trained 175+ community navigators in Legal First Aid this year, who in turn reached thousands of Bay Area families with legal navigation support on the most critical needs - housing, health, and safety. Please join us and donate today. https://t.co/EGz1kLdE2m
This #GivingTuesday, join us in supporting a new frontline of community legal navigators. Members from our #Board of Directors & Advisory Board have already pledged to match every donation up to $5,000. Please help us raise $5,000 more! https://t.co/rdVHpcuuyt #Thankyou

Did you know that police officers don't even make it into the top 10 of most dangerous jobs in America? No? Everything you've been culturally told about this profession is wrong. So how about I'll make a thread of the 10 most dangerous jobs and you see how surprised you'll be:
Just so we're clear, white people, firing Aunt Jemima & giving us Juneteenth off are not the frontlines of defeating white supremacy & dismantling structural & instutional racism. Better schools, a just criminal justice system, access to healthcare was more what we were thinking.
You want to know what defunding the police means? It means that Wendy’s could have called a tow truck instead of 911 and #RayshardBrooks would be alive tonight.
