What good are human rights laws if there’s no one to enforce them? @CMNantashaW is leading the fight to fully fund @NYCCHR. Sign the petition link: bit.ly/FundCCHR

🧵When 65% of middle-class Americans say they're struggling financially, it’s clear that existing measures of economic need don't tell the whole story. A national #TrueCostofLiving measure will show hard-working Americans they are SEEN by their government cssny.us/truecostoflivi…

Have I mentioned how much I love the criminal punishment system?

So damn tired of living in a country that treats Black grief as a threat and white rage as a sacrament

Folks focus in on political parties & platforms but this is about racism. There’s no political party that will be operating in a landscape free of white people clinging desperately to the preservation of racial caste. You can’t have a worse option than Trump & yet look at results

@gideonoliver This dad laughed very hard at that joke.

Well, looks like the

I’ve been writing this for almost a decade (in my head, in poems) but never felt brave enough to say it out loud. With this year of reckoning and y’all’s unwavering commitment to truth telling, I felt like I also needed to tell a truth. Now I feel free. thecut.com/2020/10/aching…

Defending and settling RNC 2004 civil suits cost NYC taxpayers over $35 million. Having to pay those $$ is meant to force governments to change bad policies. Hasn't happened here. Most NYC electeds pander to the police, and to them, these are just costs of doing business as usual

Eric Garner is dead. His daughter became an activist on behalf of her father. She is dead now too. Ramsey Orta recorded the incident and is in solitary confinement. But the cop involved is good to go. And the mayor is running for president as if this isn’t on him too.

(1) Starting today, New York City’s protections against workplace discrimination on the basis of criminal history have expanded! NYC employers now can’t ask about or discriminate against you because of an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal (ACD).

@WorkingPod If they are in New York City, go to @NYCCHR for discrimation and see @NYCDCA for wage and labor issues.

ATTENTION: do we have any followers who work in labor law? We have some workers messaging us with horrifying stories of exploitation, discrimination, wage theft, etc. & we want to connect them to folks who can advise them on taking action. Thanks! ♥️✊
