"Let the workers organize. Let the toilers assemble. Let their crystallized voice proclaim their injustices and demand their privileges. Let all thoughtful citizens sustain them, for the future of Labor is the future of America." John L. Lewis

ICYMT (like me), lots of great work on the #food front here!
In #Appalachia, inclusion is embedded in the culture. “You show your love through your stomach, and no one is left unfed,” says @chefiab. foodtank.com/news/2019/11/21… via @foodtank @shagbarkmill @CFIAthens #biodiversity

This looks amazing and I hope the film makes its way to the US. How exciting for Ireland, the Gaeltacht, and Irish language speakers!

Libraries help us to think. That is why they are powerful, and that is why they are under attack. That is also why we must protect them.--@maevehiggins

You cannot sell or manufacture illegal weapons of war in CA.
And if you do, there are now 40 million people that can collect $10,000 from you for engaging in that illegal activity.

Bravo @CAgovernor! #GunRegulation

California will be the first state to allow individuals to sue those spreading illegal assault weapons and ghost guns.
If states like Texas can use laws to put women in harm’s way, then California will use that authority to protect lives.

Every #Republican & #Democrat in the #Senate whose refused to support #ClimateAction has responsibility for the #extremeheat, #wildfires & #floods happening across our country & their lack of action is placing vulnerable communities lives in danger but there is a pathway forward!

This initiative from @RANDCorporation is vitally important for promoting an intelligent, scientific, and fact-based conversation on #GunPolicy and #GunViolence. @CDCgov should do more on this front and our leaders must give it the funding and leeway to do so! #GunViolenceEpidemic

The RAND Gun Policy in America initiative was designed to establish a shared set of facts on gun policy that will improve public discussions and support the development of fair and effective policies. bit.ly/3yWs0wB
