I am fired up that @BernieSanders will be seeking re-election!
It was Bernie's advocacy on economic justice, social justice, and climate justice that inspired me to step up and serve. So honored to share the ballot - and the campaign trail - with him again this year.

More than 1,600 people have signed the petition demanding @UnitedHealthGrp cover Jenn's lifesaving care. It's beautiful to see our power in numbers. Sign if you haven't + keep spreading the word! 📝 ❤️🩹 ppls.ac/jenncare
Jenn spent two decades providing emergency medical care to people who need it, only to have @UnitedHealthGrp stop her from getting health care when she needs it. xitter.cf/PplsAction/status/1646…

Today @ElevanceHealth is holding an exclusive meeting for its investors to brag about how much profit they made–and how much care they denied–from their members. While they go on a self-congratulatory victory lap, we’ll break down what it means for people like us. #CareOverCost

In light of the murder of Tyre Nichols we must push back against the reductive notion that diverse police forces = justice or transformation
Police, regardless of their race, will never be the solution to the deep rooted brutal violence of our carceral systems 👇

TODAY the White House releases tenant protections policy, following a lengthy process, incl. engagement with #HomesGuarantee tenant leaders. While providing some good organizing hooks, the announcement falls short of issuing directives to regulate rent.

On January 22nd 1973, a SCOTUS decision made abortion access a constitutional right, striking down state laws that create barriers to abortion care. If not for Summer ‘22, today we’d be celebrating 50 years of abortion rights in the United States. #RoeVWadeDay

We're looking forward to a year of celebration – birthdays, holidays, & milestones – with our loved ones who we might have lost to overdose if not for the #MATAct passing just a few weeks ago. Organizing saves lives! Share this video & help us celebrate what we can do together!

Thank you to all of our affiliates and to our allies at @PplsAction who fought so hard to make this happen. We organized, told our stories, and wielded our people power again and again. Thank you @RepPaulTonko @SenatorHassan and other leaders in Congress who fought with us.
