When you’ve got #Environmentalracism + historic disinvestment + #climatecrisis = a deadly water emergency in #Jackson Mississippi.We have the power to change this & protect the lives in this amazing city or will we remain silent and watch them become a #sacrificezone?@ABCNewsLive

How many #Jackson, Mississippi’s & #Flint Michigan’s do we have to see damaged or destroyed before politicians act and do the right thing? #CleanWater is a human right. We have the resources & tools to address crumbling #infrastructure & the #ClimateCrisis - we need folks to act!

This tore my heart in two. How can any parent look at this completely unnecessary tragedy, these 19 families torn to bits, and keep advocating that our gun laws are even close to adequate in this country?
Meet the TX man who’s making customized caskets for each of the 19 young victims and two teachers from the school shooting in #Uvalde. Trey Ganem visited with the families last week so each casket is personalized to include each child's interests.
