9-5: comms for @powerswitchaction.org (housing, labor, tech, democracy). 5-9: aikido, capoeira, surfing, sleep. Views mine.

Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change? Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

As climate solutions reporter I find many 'solutions' don't scale- or reduce pollution at all.

Which is why after months of reporting I want to tell you about Vienna.

Vienna has found a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change, all at the same time.

Now U.S. cities want in. 🎧⬇️

⚡️BIG NEWS: Green Social Housing just passed in Chicago!

This is a *huge* win that residents and organizers with IL Green New Deal and @grassrootschi.bsky.social have been working towards for years: housing that's permanently affordable, environmentally sustainable, mixed-income AND tenant governed!

Workers win at court! Today, the Missouri Supreme Court rejected attacks from greedy corporations on Proposition A. Workers will start earning paid sick days on May 1! “The ruling today affirms the will of over 57% of Missouri voters who approved Proposition A in November. Workers like me have spent over a decade fighting across race and place to strengthen our rights, and the Supreme Court decision today proves that when we fight, we win.” Terrence Wise Stand Up KC and Missouri Workers Center Leader

I went one of San Diego’s least walkable neighborhoods to test how long it takes to get from one side of the street to the other — when there’s no crosswalk. Check out this video to see the results! www.instagram.com/reel/DH9Qc3h...

So how do we fight back against the tech oligarchy, and is boycotting Amazon the answer? 🧵
