Equitable access to broadband is a must for our movements and communities, as our friends at @OCANational point out in calling for additional funding for the ACP.

Dep. Sec. Su has championed worker rights, dignity, and wellbeing literally her entire career. We were honored to join other API orgs in urging President Biden to nominate her, and urge a quick confirmation in the Senate.
President Biden is nominating Deputy Labor Secretary Julie Su, who previously headed California's labor department, to be the next Secretary of Labor.
If confirmed, Su will become the first Asian American to join Biden's cabinet at the rank of secretary. n.pr/3Y9K6Ef
Thanks @Evan_Low for saying what, unfortunately, had to be said. @RepJudyChu's work in Congress, defending democracy and dignity, is a masterclass in patriotism.
Congresswoman @RepJudyChu is an American and California icon.
Buchser High Class of 1970.
Product of CA public schools and on the list of notable graduates!
Her patriotism is exemplified in her public service and the attacks against her “loyalty” by @Lancegooden is pathetic.
PA races for House, Senate, and Governor are incredibly close, and consequential- know how, where, and when to vote, and how to get help! inquirer.com/opinion/comment…

(4/4) This video was taken during one of our visits with Urvashi and Kate.
We will forever cherish her love of life and all the special moments we shared.
From organizing around AIDS, serving as Executive Director of Arcus Foundation and the National LGBTQ Task Force, to founding LPAC, writing books, and mentoring countless colleagues, Urvashi's life was extraordinarily lived, to the profound benefit and empowerment of all of us.
