An EXCELLENT book !
Unitarian universalist youth are gaining momentum as they build a national network. And they want your input. uua.org/blueboat/annou…
What we saw in Minneapolis, Louisville, and other cities tonight is what happens when authorities waste time talking around the real problems with policing. Forget looking for the “bad apples.” Any solution that isn’t about structural reform or abolition isn’t worth entertaining.
2nd edition of my great-grandmother #IdaBWells' autobiography released 5/13/20. It was edited by my grandmother Alfreda & published by @UChicagoPress in 1970. She wrote the intro. I wrote afterword 50 yrs later! 3 generations in 1 book. @ABWHTruth @citeblackwomen @NABJ
I want to make some things plain. Police violence has historically been the source of the violent rebellions of Black people and their allies. Police violence begets violent resistance. If you want to end the violent resistance, then end the police violence. 1/5
Our friend Adam J Serafin created this disturbing map showing relationship between income and COVID-19 infection. #Covid_19 #Massachusetts serafin.carto.com/builder/e0e966…
Rep. John Lewis made his way though a packed crowd on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, climbed on to a small ladder and urged us all to keep fighting and keep soldiering forward. An amazing moment as we close out this year’s #Selma55 bridge crossing.
If you vote for a candidate who doesn't represent your values because you think "they can win", you play into a manipulated narrative. In the best case, when you get who you voted for you won't get what you believe in. So please vote your conscious and from your heart! #UUtheVOTE
Continue analogy 4 context: @ $15/hr ($28.8k/yr) PRE-TAX a full-time employee works more than 3 years for 1 grain of rice. Average cost of living in the USA for a single adult is about $28k/year (i.e. 1/3 of a grain of rice), and people pay taxes. H/T @UUA
We live the consequences of this history everyday. Remembering the places it happened is important - and necessary. They Sold Human Beings Here nyti.ms/37nIIUj
#Economicjustice is fundamental to a society that gives all people access to opportunity and #redlining is an example of the resistance to the #worthanddignity of all people.
Here’s a history lesson on the racist legacy of redlining, if any presidential candidate needs a refresher.
Jeff Bezos' new $165 million Beverly Hills mansion will have: — 3 hot houses — 2 guesthouses — A nine-hole golf course — A tennis court — A "motor court" with gas pumps Remember when Amazon's Whole Foods cut health benefits for part-time workers to save money? Tax the rich.
Healthcare is a human right. #HealthCareForAll
My health insurance (& loss thereof) is causing active anxiety... so I should see my therapist & psychiatrist... who I already see regularly for my clinical anxiety/depression/ADD... ...whose services I can afford only because I have insurance. ...cool, cool. (#NotCool)
This is neither a profile in courage, or even a profile of doing one's duty. Where was #JohnKelly until now?
It's good that John Kelly is speaking up. But it would have been even better to hear his defense of Lt. Col. Vindman and his judgment on the president's "illegal order" earlier, when these issues were key to a national debate and to an important decision by our elected officials.
We have learned so much from #BlackLivesMatter matter, and still have so much to learn. #BlackHistoryMonth2020
Whew yes! Some recent & ✨iconic✨ Black History. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackHistoryMonth
Government depends upon the humanity of each of us to provide what the government should be making accessible to all of us. #HealthCareForAll shouldn't be the mission of #Gofundme.
I don’t need to “see myself” in a president. I need to stop seeing GoFundMe campaigns for insulin.
Turnout at the #NewHampshirePrimary was lower than anticipated. Which is worrisome. Support #UUtheVote and let's get the vote out for the issues and values we want to define our democracy and fashion our collective future!
#UUtheVote encourages UUs to support voter mobilization where you live—share congregational resources or invite the community to discuss issues & values not people & parties. There are many ways to expand voter engagement in this critical #election year! bit.ly/2HdLlNI
Let's talk policy, & the evolution in recommended practices to create a safe environment where UU youth can grow and explore in spirit and faith. Webinar limited to 95 people & will be recorded and published as well. Register on the UUA calendar: uua.org/calendars/mont…
Hand it to the Republicans who realized that cutting taxes to wealthy 1st makes wealth indicators go up (ie #stockmarket), so when they propose cutting #Medicare #SocialSecurity and #SocialSafetyNet to fix their #deficit the #workingclass doesn’t believe they will get hurt 🤷🏻♂️
Love it! That's why we say #UUYouthLead! Thanks @UUA!
