Why did NYC divest rather than engage? “Engagement has its limits with coal, oil & gas companies. We are not going to transition them to solar & wind companies through shareholder resolutions.” Susannah Vickers, ED for Pensions, New York City. @NYCComptroller @NYCMayor #DivestNY

Proud that my bill, H.R. 5236 passed the House today & will help employee-owned businesses such as co-ops secure access to capital through @SBAgov. After seeing the popularity of food co-ops in NYC, this will help the business model expand to other sectors.

In the US 20 years ago 18% cap ex was spent on food, 9% on healthcare now 18% on healthcare 9% on food - can these be correlated; good health relies on good nutrition. So many interesting facts to digest from the #futureoffarming conference #FirFarm2018 thank you @SusFoodTrust

There are TEN TIMES more community solar projects in the queue—400 megawatts—in Minnesota than have been built in the history of community solar in the United States (40 megawatts). How's your state doing? nitter.gq/johnffarrell/status/98…

I’m joining a group of 39 senators and 131 representatives in calling on Scott Pruitt to step down. That's the most senators in U.S. history to sign on to a resolution formally calling for a cabinet official’s resignation. It’s well past time to #BootPruitt.
