Terrific piece about the work of @LucyGoBag newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

I just took action with @AFLCIO because everyone deserves fair compensation for their labor. Say You Stand with Striking Writers. Take action here: act.aflcio.org/forms/say-you-…

Want to know what happened with #FairPay4HomeCare in the budget? Read about how @GovKathyHochul went back on her promise to home care workers.

"But there’s a catch... home care workers who receive the supplemental [wage] portion in cash, not benefits, would not necessarily see higher pay next year" +300,000 home care workers won't see a raise next year — read why:

Confused about the recent changes to home care workers' hourly pay rates? I've got an explainer in today's @politicony newsletter that'll get you up to speed. @CaringMajority @1199SEIU @NYHammond politico.com/newsletters/we…

Only governments that have lost the support of the public resort to a crackdown on protest. We can win in our campaign to stop new fossil fuels. All we need is your help. Sign up to take action at juststopoil.org #ClimateCrisis #UK #Protest #JustStopOil #Coronation

No supporters of Just Stop Oil arrested in the crowd had glue, paint or any plans to disrupt the Coronation. New policing laws mean we're now living in a dystopian nightmare – this disgraceful overreach is what you'd expect in Pyongyang, North Korea, not Westminster.

This is Kush. He is 33-year-old doctor. Today he was planning to quietly hold a sign saying JUST STOP OIL, whilst in the crowd for the Coronation. He was arrested along with 20 others. Free speech is a core British value – and we have just lost it.

.@GovKathyHochul shattered the glass ceiling when she became NY's first woman governor. But by rolling back wage increases for women home care workers, she's sealed that ceiling up behind her. We need #FairPay4HomeCare & to #RaiseUpNY NOW!

@GovKathyHochul This is my home care worker of 12 years. He died at the beginning of the pandemic, making minimum wage in a state that didn't value home care workers. You made a promise to home care workers and every life that they affect. Such a short-lived promise. 😢

1199 accepting proposal that gives home care workers $1.55 raise, and then takes $1.55 out of mandatory benefits from workers. So....making workers pay for their own raise.

@EthanVanBuskirk @MonicaCKlein Oh - the @GovKathyHochul wants to cut their benefits by $1.55 too! Adding to the cynicism, it is the same $1.55 she wants to give them in a raise!

Want to know what was in my inbox this morning? Doctors, texting at 6.30am on a Saturday, terrified about the needless deaths of patients in the NHS and wanting to raise the alarm. Never, ever question who’s looking out for patient welfare. It’s NHS workers every single time.

Statement from the campaign of Marianne Williamson For President: The intentional omission of Marianne Williamson’s name from the Reuters Factbox article titled "2024 US presidential election: who is in, who is out and who is still thinking about it" is below the journalistic standards of a mainstream news organization. In a democratic society, it is not only the right but also the responsibility of the press to report the news—not create it. Williamson will continue to spread her message of fundamental economic and social repair despite the mainstream media’s attempt to invisibilize her. The Williamson campaign requests an immediate correction to the article, as well as a formal apology from Reuters to the public for such a blatant transgression against its own journalistic standards and its obvious effort to mislead.

A Chevron lawyer who targeted me for winning the historic Ecuador pollution case was just put on the high court of NY – the same court that engineered my unjust disbarment. @GovKathyHochul named a fossil fuel lawyer as judge at a time of climate crisis. thenation.com/article/societ…

"To the streets! Now!" @JonathanPieNews in full flow in unseen footage that will rouse anyone into rushing to #TheBigOne now... #UniteToSurvive @XRebellionUK @GreenpeaceUK

This entire budget process @GovKathyHochul has governed on behalf of her billionaire donors while ignoring the needs of New Yorkers. It’s time she stops holding up the budget and puts our communities first.

TY for your steadfast support! #FairPay4HomeCare @CaringMajority
