Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

Fanboying a murderous dictator while misspelling his name is very on-brand for him.

Most of these are caused primarily or partially by conventional #agriculture with #agrochemicals & heavy mechanization. @Sust_Harv_Intl offers an alternative that nourishes the 🌎 rather than poisoning and degrading it.
Here's how Earth has blown past 7 of 8 ecological guardrails, putting planet & people in danger zone, according to new study.

Symptoms are not enemies to be destroyed, but sacred messengers who encourage us to take better care of ourselves 👇

Privatisation of utilities was always a scam
English water companies to pay £14.7bn in dividends,.
They will hike bills by £100 a year to reduce sewage pollution - we have been paying since 1989. Companies pocketed the money.
OFWAT/GOVT presiding over abuses.
Privatisation is a scam.

Glad to hear @EspositoUSAID at #AIM4CSummit discussing @USAID commitments to address climate change. I hope they can help @Sust_Harv_Intl expand and share our multi-year #agroecology extension program to allow smallholders to sequester 8 gigatons of #carbon annually at scale

Final session of #AIM4CSummit on #NDCs includes remarks by @LauraSuazoT about #Honduras commitment to reduce #GhG emissions by 16% (1.6 million tons?) @Sust_Harv_Intl goal is to help 50,000 Honduran farms sequester 800,000 tons of #carbon per year in #soils, trees etc by 2030.
I feel very lucky to have been part of this panel with @ClimateEnvoy @JohnKerry warming up the crowd for us in the preceding session! 😉

Kindred spirit @PeaceCorpsDir talked at #AIM4CSummit about how workshops of a few weeks aren't enough for #smallholders to change practices. My experience as a @PeaceCorps volunteer ('91-'93) is why I founded @Sust_Harv_Intl as a multi-year #agroecology program.

At #AIM4CSummit , @AFSollinger points out that monocultures like corn grew out of colonialism and issues with focus on profit-driven #climatesolutions rather than solutions such as #agroforestry that feed people and do most to stabilize climate. That's focus of @Sust_Harv_Intl
At #AIM4CSummit , @ClimateEnvoy rightly says it's no longer #climatechange but now #climatecrisis highlighting it's already killing millions, reducing #agriculture production by up to 40% and how much worse it will get without big changes, having already passed 5 tipping points.

At #AIM4CSummit , @ClimateEnvoy pointing out that #agriculture accounts for 33% of #ghg emissions. @Sust_Harv_Intl works towards potential of #agroecology to meet 54% of @UN @ipcc goal.

At #AIM4CSummit @POTUS just sent a video message that #agriculture is at the heart of #climatechange I wish he'd mentioned #agroecology
