As long as gun violence remains a public health threat to children and families, pediatricians will not rest in our pursuit to #EndGunViolence. https://t.co/yS7gnBbL28

Lerner was one of the founders of the academic field of women's history. In 1963, as an undergraduate at the New School for Social Research, she taught "Great Women in American History", which was the first regular college course on women's history. #WomensHistoryMonth

We agree with @acluohio. It is bad policy. People who are incarcerated should be prioritized for the vaccine.

Confused about your rights are as a tenant? Well, you're not alone, & our workshops can help! Our partners will walk you through the laws that protect tenants & provide information about resources that can help you stay housed. Sign up now at https://t.co/NPajwiZdjK.

[Stay Housed LA @stayhousedla]

Tenants aren't just covered by state law! L.A. County protections say tenants can't be evicted for unpaid rent, no-fault reasons, nuisance, denying entry to a landlord, or unauthorized occupants or pets – if related to COVID-19 through June 30, 2021.

Fast Fact Friday: Did you know that your landlord must have a court order to lock you out of your rental unit, even if you haven't paid rent? If your landlord tries to lock you out, contact us for immediate help via our referral form at https://t.co/oceiV3eS2W.

With the Extended #Tenant Relief Act (#SB91) passing last week, now is a great time to learn just what your rights are as a tenant. Sign up for a workshop this week to learn more at https://t.co/NPajwiZdjK.

A study from USC and UCLA researchers found that thousands of L.A. renters are facing housing-related money problems — and landlords reportedly already started eviction proceedings against 40,000 of them. https://t.co/Vqf23DnCUJ

In our final COVID-19 report, we examine the transfer of 189 incarcerated persons to Corcoran and San Quentin, finding the efforts by CCHCS and CDCR to prepare for and execute the transfers deeply flawed, risking the health and lives of thousands. 1/3

Stable and affordable housing is not equally available to all. Covid-19 has worsened this crisis. Know your rights, mask up, and get vaccinated when available!

Jails and prisons were hit hard in the pandemic and experts say they need to be prioritized for the vaccines https://t.co/bdDg8IiEpv

“The interchange between communities and prisons and jails has always been there, but in the context of COVID-19 it’s never been clearer,” said ��@RubysHarmonium⁩. https://t.co/UkiDFj4bqq

Dalhart - 100
Smith - 100
Hobby - 100
Montford - 400
Clements - 100
Estelle - 200

Incarcerated people should be a priority for COVID-19 vaccination, pass it on.

States should include incarcerated people and staff in phase 1 of #COVID19 vaccine deployment. Signed, @CovidPrison @SEICHE_Yale @uncCHER @CUJusticeLab @AmendatUCSF @uclaprisondata @FXBHarvard @HarvardEthics. https://t.co/fA8Jn48VvF

Absolutely! Those living and working in congregate settings are at higher risk of infection and mortality than those in the general public.

National commission says prison inmates, guards should be among first to get COVID-19 vaccine https://t.co/gdAmfRxZJQ

[UACT @uact_]

Why aren’t the incarcerated being prioritized for the COVID vaccine? Small confined spaces with many low level crimes circulating in and out of the prison system. Truly an injustice. #COVID19 #CovidVaccine
