Deborah Rose ❌👑The Republicans ending and blocking the Child Tax Credit in 2022 led to a huge increase in child poverty. #RepublicansAreTheProblem
Republican elected officials at both the state and federal level are actively working to block students from receiving free or reduced-price school lunches — meals that experts say are key to reducing childhood hunger in the United States. #RepublicansAreTheProblem

Brent ToderianIt’s REALLY important for everyone to understand the truth that designing your city for cars fails for everyone, including drivers. Designing a city with CHOICES in how to get around works better for everyone, including drivers.
Let’s spread this message as much as we can.

CelloMom On Cars"The city’s six new “traffic filters” will limit daytime car travel between Oxford’s neighborhoods, which stretch from the medieval center to its ring road like slices of a pizza."
Delft (the Netherlands) did this a few decades ago in its smaller city core, and instantly reduced horrific congestion, terrible air pollution, and danger on the streets. It's better for businesses.
(Why should the Dutch be the only ones who enjoy safer cleaner streets?)
NEW: The 15-Minute City concept explained well as a vision supporting an “ecosystem” of local things we need, close-by and easily accessible for all, created by engaging local people and customizing strategies to local realities. WATCH this great brand new 7-minute video by #StreetFilms featuring @CarlosMorenoFr and Catherine Gall.
The Fifteen Minute City: Carlos Moreno & Catherine Gall Explain To Streetfilms
The War on Cars"Last year, Schwarzenegger was involved in a four-vehicle crash at Sunset Boulevard and Allenford Avenue in Brentwood, an incident that sent a woman to the hospital with minor injuries."
Nothing to see here, folks! Just a guy who's "involved" in car crashes every now and then.
If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study.
This isn’t just about choice. It’s about WHO PAYS for your choice.

"Now, Atlanta City Council is weighing a proposal to follow in the footsteps of places like Denver, Boston and Rhode Island by offering city residents rebates for e-bikes, which can run anywhere between $600 and $6,000."
Mark Abraham“Young people these days can’t afford housing, health care, or college because they eat too many avocado toasts, drink too much, and go to too many concerts”
