5/ We don’t need scapegoats. We need affordability. Climate justice. Real investment in our neighborhoods and small businesses. Leadership should build a just future — not distract from one. If you agree, share. #SOTU

4/While the noise fills the room, real crises grow: 🔥 Climate disasters 💸 The racial wealth gap 🏠 Barriers to homeownership ⚡ Rising energy costs Communities of color are hit first — and helped last.

3/ The playbook was painfully familiar: 1️⃣ Say the economy is booming. 2️⃣ Blame immigrants & attack equity. 3️⃣ Cast doubt on elections. If you don’t have solutions, create enemies. If you don’t have results, create noise.

2/Instead of leadership, we got distraction. When families are struggling with groceries, rent, insurance, and energy bills — “record growth” doesn’t pay the bills. Working people feel the squeeze. Spin won’t fix that.

1/ That State of the Union wasn’t about the state of the country — it was about preserving power. 🧵 Three days later, here’s what’s still ringing loud...

Civil Rights leaders have long emphasized the power of community. This Black History Month, we reflect on the ongoing harm to our immigrant communities and uplift our commitment to collective action for a just future. Read more from our President & CEO: bit.ly/4rlA8PD

Rev. Jesse Jackson taught us that hope is not passive — it is courage in action. In this moment marked by deep division, his words still call us forward: Keep hope alive. We honor him by doing the work — together. #RestinPower ow.ly/X8Vi50YhSFk

Transportation is an affordability burden for communities of color. As federal EV incentives are cut, Gov. Newsom’s $200M rebate plan aims to keep CA moving, but without equity guardrails, communities risk being left behind. Thanks @AlejandroLazo ow.ly/HMHt50Y9uXK

“The same communities that were excluded from financial services in the past continue to come up for exclusion today.” As climate risk grows, Monica Palmeira warns AI-driven insurance tools risk pricing out vulnerable communities. Read the full article: ow.ly/PpIY50Y8UzQ

Highway expansion isn’t progress when it displaces families, worsens climate change, and drains public dollars. CA can modernize transportation without demolishing communities of color. Lawmakers must act. calmatters.org/commentary/202… #HomesB4Highways #caleg

CA’s proposed $200M investment in EV rebates is a step toward addressing EV market slumps, but key questions remain about who benefits—especially communities historically left out of clean transpo. investments. Thanks @AlejandroLazo for this reporting. bit.ly/4afDldl

At Greenlining, we know our communities hold deep power. This MLK Day, we honor Dr. King’s legacy by continuing to build power rooted in love for our communities — power that transforms systems of harm and helps create a just future for all.

California is planning 200+ highway expansion projects during a housing, climate, and budget crisis. These projects displace low-income communities, raise costs, and fail voters. We need a binding state law that puts #HomesB4Highways ⬇️ #Caleg calmatters.org/commentary/202…
