If Bill Gates wanted to make a real difference, he would give away 99.99% of his wealth* to climate action foundations and spend the rest of his life advocating publicly for wealth taxes, wage caps, and domestic and international economic and climate justice.

The climate crisis is not gender neutral. According to the UN, 80% of people displaced by climate change are women. Climate change is hitting agricultural workers, who are predominantly women, especially hard. (1/5)

It’s not divisive to call out white supremacy. What’s divisive is to not work to eliminate it.

Congratulations and thank you to first-time poll workers, especially the 16 and 17 year olds who worked the polls before even being eligible to vote!! Thanks to @NCoC for recognizing their contributions!
👏 We're excited to announce that @NCoC's 2020 Joseph H. Kanter "Citizen of the Year" award is being presented to ALL FIRST-TIME POLL WORKERS! 👏 In an unprecedented election year, they stepped up by the thousands to fill the election worker gap and keep our communities safe!

Public officials work for you, not the other way around. Never let them forget that.

Landlord: Rent is due. Congress: "It's okay. We have a vaccine coming." Landlord: Sends eviction notice. Congress: 🌈 ✊🏿
landlord: where's my money me: That's OK now because we have a new president. A president who recognizes we need to depend on science

With all due respect, Mr. President—let’s talk about losing people. We lost Michael Brown Jr. We lost Breonna Taylor. We’re losing our loved ones to police violence. It’s not a slogan. It’s a mandate for keeping our people alive. Defund the police.
Obama: You lose people with "snappy" slogans like "defund the police" hill.cm/ZPEYKLW

#Sexeducation is necessary in our school systems. Not just #sexualhealth and #pregnancy. But #consent, rape, menstrual cycles, #birthcontrol, sexual and #datingviolence, and so much more.

The NYPD’s budget is $6,000,000,000 That’s more than the city spends on health, homelessness, youth development and workforce development combined. Yes, defund the police.
