We all want economic prosperity. But greedy corporations like Amazon will fund a $300 million White House ballroom and cut their hard-working Amazon workers, who are already dealing with low labor standards. Is your job loss worth the construction of a ballroom you'll never set foot in?

A photo of David Huerta with a megaphone with a quote saying " We will keep fighting until every worker and every family is safe from raids, separation, and fear."

Everyone knows that American Freedom is not force, sensorship, or intimidation. However, authoritarians want to criminalize resistance and make examples of those who lead, but we won't let that happen. We stand with David Huerta and demand that all charges against him be dropped! #standwithdavid

Title that reads, "Remeber SB18? An image of an op-ed article with a heading that reads, "Critical amendments needed to fix California bill aimed at food deserts". Followed by writing that says, "SB18 has proposed a misuse of funds directed at large retailers with no guardrails, leaving out the most impactful community food retailers from obtaining grant funds. SB18 was held in the State Assembly last month. What does this mean? Legislators heard your demands. Your voice made an impact. While this bill is not moving forward with amendments that strengthen resilience and community voices, our efforts were enough to hit the brakes on a bill that was once considered "common-sense". We let legislators know: we want community-centered initiatives over corporate interests. Thank you for your mobilization, we couldn't have done it without you!"

We'd like to extend a big THANK YOU to community voices and partners for their amazing advocacy for community-centered approaches!

Pesticides, Public Health, and the MAHA Commission | Pesticide Action & Agroecology Network (PAN) The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission’s strategy addressing children’s health was billed as a way to address declining public health, with a particular focus on curtailing recent increases in chronic illness in children. However, under pre

The MAHA Commission strategy report confirms that the administration has no real plans to reduce exposures to pesticides. Further, it broadly reaffirms the administration’s continued reliance on voluntary industry compliance rather than enforceable federal regulation.

This Supreme Court's decision today on ICE raids is another indicator that this court does not stand for justice, but exists to legitimize the Trump administration's actions. As the otherization of communities continues to grow, we must remember that our struggles are the same.

Unions aren’t just good for workers—they also benefit communities and democracy Rebuilding worker power by strengthening unions is not just good policy—it is a democratic imperative in the face of authoritarian backsliding.

"In the face of rising inequality and authoritarianism, unions organize, educate, and mobilize working people to defend voting rights, push back against disinformation, and expand civic participation." Strong worker power in the food system benefits all!

Gov subsidies protecting extractive monopolies in the food system cost farmers, shoppers, and food chain workers their livelihoods. Divesting from them is how we drive change #caleg must take on all amendments to SB 18 to resource community-led effort. @buffywicks.bsky.social

SHOBE: Families and farmers deserve priority in California’s climate future California's cap-and-trade program has dealt benefits to farmers. A reauthorization could put them in jeopardy, writes Brian Shobe for Sun View.

CA leaders rally around “affordability,” but
@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social's Cap-and-Trade proposal makes us ask: Why is Big Oil prioritized over affordable food and energy? sjvsun.com/ag/families-...
