I'm loving being in the Global Intrapreneur Week conference this week. So many incredible thoughts, ideas, and change makers with heart getting it done! #GIW21 #innerchange

#arctic #oilspill Diesel fuel turns the river red in Russia. More than 20,000 tons has spilled.
300 tonnes of leaked fuel has been gathered so far in rivers Ambarnaya and Daldykan, north of Krasnoyarsk region; Russian Ministry of Emergencies reported earlier today that they managed to localise the spill. Currently 500 rescuers are working at the site. Video credit Borusio
A powerful moment of protest in Homewood. An organizer shouts George Floyd’s last words while hundred lay on the ground for over 8 minutes.
If you can’t protest, here are some gofundmes and organizations that are accepting donations. The least you can do is retweet:

Keep on doing your part by staying inside and keeping a safe distance from one another. For those who don’t have that option for whatever reason...thank you and stay safe❤️ #FlattenTheCuve #QuaratineLife
