Wow.
"There is nothing holy about rejecting medical care of people. There is nothing holy about turning someone away from a hospital. There's nothing holy about rejecting a child from a family. There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law."

Thrilled to be part of the launch of #CareWins, an effort to make care a central conversation point in the 2024 cycle & beyond. As someone thinking about care for my own parents as they age, this really hits home. We can do better than making people figure this out on their own!
Our country is in a care crisis.
If we want to win paid leave and affordable care for our children, elders, and loved ones with disabilities, and fair wages for those in care jobs, we need to fight for it.
With #CareWins, we’re going to make it central in 2024 and beyond.
Zy Bryant organizes for racial justice in education and in our public spaces, and gives us practical ways to move resources through mutual aid. Together, we can support Zyahna and keep moving for racial justice! #ZyBryant #ZyahnaBryant #WeLoveZyahnaBryant
Zyahna Bryant launched a movement to take down Confederate statues, and has transformed Charlottesville and so many other places. Now is the time she needs our support, and I support her! #ZyBryant #ZyahnaBryant #WeLoveZyahnaBryant

New in @Time from our ED, the Rev. @NathanEmpsall:
It's blasphemous for MAGA Republicans to compare Trump to Jesus this Holy Week. The real comparison is to Pontius Pilate. time.com/6269313/trump-jesus…
I’m so proud of this episode (and the organizing described in it), and also so grateful for this podcast series. If you’re an organizer and are feeling uninspired or stale right now, give this podcast a listen - it’s deeply reaffirming that strategic, thoughtful organizing works!
On this week's Craft of Campaigns, @hcronk talks w/ @awgarces about @GetEQUAL's campaign to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell forgeorganizing.org/article/…

BREAKING: we, staffers of the US Congress, are peacefully sitting in on Senator Schumer’s office to demand Dems pass climate justice policy this year.
We are putting our bodies on the line because we have no other choice. Follow along for updates from inside!
So grateful to be part of -- and learning from -- the domestic worker movement. And so grateful for the leadership of @JennOStowe & @aijenpoo as we move into the next chapter of making history!

1. This will be a thread of companies that sent out earnest Tweets celebrating Black History Month but donated a bunch of money last year to Republican senators who filibustered federal voting rights protections

Spent 7-8am reading stories of folks living with disabilities who have been traumatized by institutional care as part of a 24-hour story vigil in DC. We need the care infrastructure that HCBS provides. We need Congress to #BuildBackBetter because #CareCantWait!

RT if you think it's time for the rich to pay their fair share of taxes for resources that benefit us all.
