As moral leaders, we are required in this moment to raise up a mighty coalition of love & truth who will speak with our prayers, with our voices & with our votes. It’s time to take the mic back from those who use the public mic to spew hatred and division. https://t.co/rmaLhKRgiE

AMAZING NEWS! The neighbors who sued to stop the Aston non-congregate shelter from opening have dropped their lawsuit.

While we anticipate more lawsuits, this is great news and shows that our advocacy works.

Treasury just released a first-of-its-kind (for them) report on the benefits of unions.

TLDR: Unions raise pay for union and nonunion workers, reduce race and gender gaps, boost productivity, strengthen communities, and help create a resilient economy.

Sorry can't talk right now-

I'm busy explaining that low-wage workers are only called "unskilled" to normalize poverty wages and obscure the fact that billion dollar companies often barely pay their "skilled" workers a living wage either.

We can all organize for more.

Another Emergency in 'Cancer Alley': Massive Fire and Chemical Leak Displaces Black Communities. Fossil fuel disasters hit marginalized neighborhoods hardest.

It's time for justice and action to safeguard Black lives.

"Class struggle was on everyone’s lips. A variety of issues brought them to the picket, but the auto workers there were unanimous about turbocharged wealth inequality leaving workers behind."

There's a lot about the disastrous Maui wildfires that couldn't be avoided thanks to decades of capitalist and colonialist destruction.
But some of it - particularly the numbers of dead & missing - could have been avoided.

“Most people will not go into regular shelters. You don’t need ID to check in, you don’t know who’s sleeping next to you or what’s going on," Wesley Thomas tells the @washingtonpost. "This shelter, if it’s structured and run well, it would be a blessing.” https://t.co/9a71qZNIIa

“The United States has enough money to end homelessness. And D.C. is the nation’s capital. At the end of the day, they just don’t have the political will.” says Rachelle Ellison of @WashingtonPffc

TRUTH!

Thanks @Marissa_Jae & @justinwmmoyer!

It's the white supremacy AND the guns.

Which would stimulate the economy? A $1.7 trillion fighter jet that can’t fly properly or canceling $1.7 trillion in student debt.

[Daily Union Elections @UnionElections]

BREAKING: 23 workers at Dunkin Donuts in Cincinatti are forming a union and joining @BCTGM!

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

Another mass shooting, this time in Jacksonville.

This was an act of racial terrorism and the kind of white vigilante violence against Black Americans deeply embedded in our nation’s history.

We must disarm hate and tackle white supremacy now. No more excuses!

Average PPP Loan amount: $107,000

Average federal student loan amount: $37,338

If we can cancel PPP Loans, we can cancel student debt.
