Right this moment, Congress is debating if they should gut the Americans with Disabilities Act. Call your representatives NOW, and tell them to vote no on #HR620. #StopHR620 #SavetheADA teapaw.org/ACLU/status/9638264214…
People with disabilities face barriers everyday: inaccessible restrooms, medical equipment, parking lots, entrances, and tables at restaurants. Instead of fixing this, #HR620 would require them to jump through hoops simply to enforce their right to access. thehill.com/opinion/civil-ri…

To be clear: Wal-Mart announced "bonuses" (had to be there 20 yrs to get the max of $1,000), then fired workers and gave some an opportunity to re-apply later for a lower position, then closed 10% of Sam's Clubs, then announced thousands more layoffs. marketwatch.com/story/wal-ma…

Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!

Some great news: We need just one more vote, from one more Senator, to have enough votes to reverse the Trump administration’s #NetNeutrality repeal. Keeping our internet free and open to everyone could not be more important. Contact your Senators today!

Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.

Dear Millenials: Here is a piece of information you may not know. The number of millenials age 18 and over (i.e., of voting age), now exceeds the number of living baby boomers. To be clear: IF YOU VOTE, YOU WILL OUTNUMBER THEM. Love, Me (GenX).
