the authorities removing me from the Whole Foods olive bar

Not unthinkable. I find it pretty thinkable. I'm thinking it right now as I type and I'm loving it.

Thank you so much for coming out!

Happy Pride, Ann Arbor! #A2Pride #A2Council

Huge, long overdue win for Michigan voters & workers from MI Supreme Court today. The net-net? Michiganders will enjoy an increase in the minimum wage, & paid sick leave. More, the Court ruled against a cynical legislative move to take measures out of the hands of voters. 🧵/1

@EliNSavit @MalloryMcMorrow Canceled!

Rare that I disagree with the good Senator @MalloryMcMorrow. But…

Yesterday, we found out my father's cancer is terminal. We have some time left together, and I am so grateful to be able to spend it with him. If you have any stories or memories you wish for me to share with him, please reach out to me, and I will share them with him.

The Festival trailer for Red Whiteville and Blue just got released this weekend! I am working to figure out a Michigan premiere, but for now, this is a good look into the work we are doing at the Great Economy Project. redwhitevilleandblue.com

“After graduating, I stepped into a director role at the Great Economy Project, focusing on economic equality in Michigan. This spring, we release "Red Whiteville and Blue," a documentary about the work I am doing. In 2023 I was elected to the Ann Arbor Library Board as trustee and I am the current co-chair of the Ann Arbor Democrats. I use my experience at the University of Michigan every single day in the field working to create a better future in Michigan and beyond. Go Blue!” —LSA alum Catherine Hadley Join in for the 10th anniversary of Giving Blueday. Your gift goes further thanks to special matches and donor challenges! myumi.ch/VGPAj #GivingBlueday

‘Red Whiteville and Blue’ by D.L. Anderson at @FullFrame #fullFrame @CarolinaDurham @durhamnc - inspiring grass-roots democracy w/ Patriotic Millionaires & seed project in Whiteville NC Columbus County to bring people together and demand economic justice and opportunities-bravo!

We had a great premiere at @FullFrame last week, we are heading to @RiverRun this weekend to screen our film again.

The founder and CEO of Patriotic Millionaires spoke to the United Nations Economic and Social Council about the threat to democracy and basic human freedom posed by the global billionaire class. #taxtherich

Exciting times with the Ann Arbor District Library — I have been appointed to the executive committee and role of Treasurer! As always, thanks are owed to the Board and community for entrusting me with such responsibilities. It is an honor and privilege to lead!

The part of the segment focused on Great Economy Project starts at 23 minutes in. A huge thank you to Pierre, Ritchie, and Morris for always showing up and doing the work with me. An English version will be made available over the next few weeks! francetvinfo.fr/replay-magazin…

“At some point, extreme wealth becomes extreme power. And when power is inherited, rather than derived from the citizens and workers of a nation, it is fundamentally anti-democratic”- Patriotic Millionaires

It's always fascinating to see old men in power position themselves at the head of progressive PACs! Interesting!!!!!

@CatHadleyA2 @PatrioticMills Cat Hadley: Things are all interconnected: People who can't afford to live in the city where they work need to commute from the suburbs, & that has an effect on climate change. @CatHadleyA2 @patrioticmills

@CatHadleyA2 @PatrioticMills Cat Hadley: Everyone benefits when we Raise the Wage. The workers have more money to spend & it helps the local economy. Imagine what our communities would be like if people could afford to do things. @CatHadleyA2 @patrioticmills

@CatHadleyA2 @PatrioticMills Cat Hadley: Yes, we have a middle class, but it's a sliver of what it was when I was a kid. This economy is not working for anyone--it's sickening how rigged our tax code is. That's what we're trying to tell people. @CatHadleyA2 @patrioticmills

@CatHadleyA2 @PatrioticMills Cat Hadley: When younger people tell me it's too hard, they're walking away, I ask them who benefits when they give up. Yes, you can fight city hall. I've done it. @CatHadleyA2 @patrioticmills
