Spending time in nature can change our behavior and improve physical and mental well-being. I’m excited to join @BloombergDotOrg’s and @AspenInstitute’s #CityLab2022 Deep immersive nature can transform urban landscapes. Learn more and livestream the panel: CityLab.Bloomberg.Org
Today is a day for all political leaders to unequivocally and forcefully condemn last year’s disgraceful attack on the Capitol and the attempt to overturn democracy. Stand up and be counted, so we can know by their silence those who would betray the country and Constitution.

Text "HALT" to 52886 or visit bit.ly/EndSolitaryP2A to urge @NYCSpeakerCoJo to call a vote on legislation to end solitary confinement in the City Council. Solitary is torture. It is deadly. It worsens safety for everyone. Time is running out - the City Council must end it now.

We vowed we would #NeverForget911– and honoring that promise has never been more important. If you make a contribution to The Never Forget Fund by @Sept11Memorial before Saturday, the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I will match it — and triple it. bit.ly/3nnzdjH

The @Sept11Memorial stands as a symbol of our defiance, proof of our resolve, and of the unity that lifted and inspired us. I was honored to join UN Security Council ambassadors to lay flowers at the Memorial this morning. neverforget.org

It’s 2019. Can we all now please stop saying “climate change” and instead call it what it is: climate breakdown, climate crisis, climate emergency, ecological breakdown, ecological crisis and ecological emergency? #ClimateBreakdown #EcologicalBreakdown
