CEBV 2024 State Propositions Guide

In a nutshell: Yes on Prop 139, No on all other statewide measures.

CEBV Weekly

"In Arizona, voters will soon decide on a proposition that would similarly allow property owners to sue cities for a tax refund of expenses related to non-enforcement of laws targeting unhoused people."

That's Prop 312. Please let your AZ friends know to vote NO

YES on Prop 139, NO on everything else

Thanks, @geoffhing!

Even (ESPECIALLY) nonprofit leaders.
An important lesson is that you can never easily tell who is “vulnerable” to COVID. Olympic champions are at risk from COVID. In different ways COVID poses a risk to all of us. This is why it’s important for everyone to take measures to protect themselves and others from COVID.

Yup, totally normal:

“In January, the company announced it had already scanned the irises of more than 1% of Argentina’s population.”

It would be so much easier if someone who knows me and my abilities would just say hey, here's where you're needed, but it doesn't work that way.
I am once again struggling with what I actually need to be aware of. How can I limit my focus to what I can effect, even at a small level?
