@kjerstinwood @kcmetrobus Awwww! Congrats, you two. 🥳

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

@curly_scientist Wooohooooooo!! 🥳👏🏼❤️

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

@curly_scientist Yaaaas!! Whatever it is, I’m glad they recognize your brilliance. 👏🏼💚

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

I’ve always been confused by folx’s obsession with #space travel aka #colonization. How about we fix some of our problems first? 🤷🏻‍♀️🌎

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

So let me get this straight: Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos want to colonize outer space to save humanity, but they couldn't care less about protecting the rights of workers' here on earth?

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

@meetjoenguyen #CapandTrade and #SB5126 create a system that benefits corporations driving climate change. These same corporations are the ones dumping on and displacing our community members. @gotgreenseattle @CJAOurPower

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

@meetjoenguyen Agreed - our communities continue to be sacrifice zones for industrial pollution. So why are you co-sponsoring #SB5126 which allows corporations to keep up these practices that are killing our people instead or reducing pollution at the source?

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

@curly_scientist 😡🤦🏻‍♀️ Sending you so much love, T!

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

No to #SB5126. “We must... put forward solutions that reduce local emissions and pollution at source, not programs that disregard disparities in and perpetuate the destructive practice of sacrifice zones, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

[Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) 🌻 @CJAOurPower]

CJA strongly opposes market based approaches to the #ClimateCrisis such as #CapandTrade. These false “solutions” are essentially revenue schemes for big business and will only serve to continue the cycle of harm our communities have faced for centuries.

[Got Green @gotgreenseattle]

The WA Senate is planning to vote on #CapandTrade #SB5126 tomorrow! Don't let communities become pollution sacrifice zones so that corporations can continue to make profits off the climate crisis. Tell WA Lawmakers to vote NO on Cap and Trade (SB 5126) https://t.co/HyiMzP7Wbj

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

@curly_scientist Maybe you’re both right? 💔😤

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

The fetishization of Asian women runs deep. #StopAAPIHate

[Kevin Nadal, Ph.D. @kevinnadal]

Most people know about the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. But did you know about the Page Act of 1875? It was the first federal law to restrict immigration in general, and it specifically targeted Asian women who were believed to be entering the US for prostitution or polygamy.

[Min Jin Lee @minjinlee11]

In less than 48 hours, we had a historic Asian Oscar moment with multiple firsts in 93 years—then a mass shooting targeting 3 Asian-owned businesses. This is how terrorism works—you’re not allowed to feel safe, accepted, or valued. We can resist. Take up space. Make noise.

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

@curly_scientist 😱🤬

[Got Green @gotgreenseattle]

The #HEALAct would make it the mission of our state to achieve the same high standard of clean air, water, and land in EVERY community. Thank you for standing up for justice! @frontandcenterd

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

#CapandTrade is a false solution. No to #SB5126 👎🏼

[organize where you are | Kaileah (she/her) @k_d_badass]

It’s a trap to put ourselves into a position where #WA depends on continued pollution (in disproportionately poor & BIPOC areas) to fund programs meant to support green jobs and poor & BIPOC communities.

@PugetSoundSage, @gotgreenseattle, @Sunrisemvmt_sea, back me up here...

[Got Green @gotgreenseattle]

Caps are fine. It's the trading, offsets, and market mechanisms that are the problem.

[Vera Hoang @vera_hoang]

This.

[Puget Sound Sage @PugetSoundSage]

Puget Sound Sage opposes all forms of cap-and-trade policy and calls on all legislators and allies who seek to follow the lead of communities of color to oppose SB 5126, a bill introduced by @Reuvencarlyle at the request of @GovInslee

[Got Green @gotgreenseattle]

Sign onto our letter to Gov. Inslee and Senator Carlyle to stop proposing fake solutions to climate! https://t.co/z3j8D9FBS0
