This is pretty amazing to be honest.

Yesterday I put up a poll asking 1000 people to sign this petition demanding undocumented immigrants have the right to get a Driver's License.

296 people took the poll and 400 people also signed the petition. Everyone did what they said they would! How great is that! 😀

We're ~600 people shy of my goal. Will you be 1 of 600 and speak up for undocumented immigrants? Much love ❤️✊🏽

I'm sharing this as an actual solution to empower civilians.

Please check out TurnSignl, an app founded by Black civil rights lawyers. It lets you video call a lawyer asap through voice activation or single touch when police pull you over. The lawyer manages & records the entire convo w/police & works to get you home safe.

It's like $7/mo and free for low income people. It's in a few dozen states & will be nationwide shortly. I have it myself.

“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.

Phil Ting's #FreedomToWalk Act is now law in California. You can cross the street anywhere as long as you're not creating a hazard.

#Jaywalking, the fake "crime" created by automobile industry lobbying to blame victims of #TrafficViolence, no longer exists in California.

Enjoy your freedom to walk! https://ktla.com/news/california/new-law-allows-californians-to-legally-jaywalk/

Some inconvenient facts about immigrants that MAGAs hope you ignore:

•Seeking asylum is a legal & human RIGHT, protected by the US Constitution and the UN Convention on Refugees (to which the USA is a signatory)

•Both documented AND undocumented immigrants have LOWER crime rates than US Citizens (and usually higher vaccination rates too)

•Undocumented immigrants pay MORE in taxes ($12B annually) than Trump ever has or will (and get none of the tax benefits)

Spend $10 at a chain store: Only $1.40 stays in the local economy

Spend $10 at a local business: $4.50 stays in the local economy

A typical mid-sized US city would gain hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth if everyone shifted just 10% of their shopping from chains to small businesses. And local businesses give at least 4X more to local charitable causes.
