The good news is that despite this - more students have been voting than ever before, & groups including @SLSVCoalition @SciNetUCS & @facultynetwork are working to protect our right to vote. If you're a scientist at a college/university - get connected! blog.ucsusa.org/ingrid-paredes…

As college students are often new voters & have more mobility than other populations, navigating policies can be cumbersome. College campuses have already felt its impact, especially in states including TX, FL, & GA. 4/ blog.ucsusa.org/ingrid-paredes…

I have been offline most of the summer, but I'm back with @SciNetUCS @UCSUSA! We'll be preparing for the 2024 election cycle with articles on voting rights and how we can best protect the right to vote. First - what's at risk? 1/ blog.ucsusa.org/ingrid-paredes…

Happy to announce the inaugural #DisabledInSTEM week, which I planned to be part of #DisabilityPrideMonth! #DisabledInSTEMWeek

NY's free N95/KN95 program didn't happen by accident. Grassroots groups like @MandateMasksNY & @BrooklynBCID helped by advocating for masks at @MTA meetings for months. @HealthNYGov should make this a permanent program. Even when the smoke clears, people need masks for COVID.

Another air quality alert has been issued for today, June 29th. To prepare, the City has delivered thousands of additional masks to immigrant serving partners below 👇🏼 Please mask up 😷 & stay safe!

The #RentGuidelinesBoard approved a 3% increase for one-year leases. For two-year leases, rents will increase by 2.75% for the 1st year / 3.2% for the second year. Any increase approved by the Board is a failure, and an unsustainable burden on tenants across New York City. [1/7]

BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day! These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years. ShowYourStripes.info

Two hours into the Rent Guidelines Board hearing in Brooklyn and there are still around 130 people on line outside and a full house in the auditorium at St Francis College

NYC is the most expensive it’s ever been, and an estimated 92,000 New Yorkers are without a home. If the #RentGuidelinesBoard follows through with the proposed increases, they vote to add even more families, children, disabled New Yorkers, and lifelong neighbors to that number.

2 hours in - line wrapped around the block!

im gonna make the most heartfelt tiktok of my life but i wanted to share this vid of the Brooklyn Art Book Fair, which i am immensely proud to have helped organize. fully-masked (mostly in KN95s from Covid Solidarity NYC!) with incredible compliance 💛 im so happy i could cry
