Qasim Rashid, Esq.Coffee drinkers! Listen! Starbucks workers nationwide are starting a 3-day strike today (Friday 12/16) as part of their effort to unionize.
How can you help? Don't cross the picket line. Get your coffee elsewhere. (Preferably at independent coffee shops. Long live small biz).
And spread the word! Make this message viral. Let's hold billionaire corps accountable because worker's rights are human rights. Let's go.

Maybe we can use some of that empty space for vibrant, affordable, multigenerational, cooperative housing with access to a wide array of supports and services to help everyone thrive - e.g. childcare, respite care, personal care, etc.

Dr. Elizabeth SawinIf we can only imagine a zero carbon society as the current society running on a different energy source we (a) will miss out on so many opportunities for health, beauty, wellbeing, and justice, and (b) not be able to accomplish it.

Proposal to stop referring to covid in the past tense and climate change in the future tense.
Love this - transformation of now empty downtowns into "central social districts" characterized by "robust social connectivity" where "nearly all daily necessities are within walking or cycling distance of where people live."
