Exactly 14 years ago today—on July 24, 2009—the minimum wage was set at $7.25 while top 1% were worth $5T. Today, billionaire wealth is $45T+, meanwhile the min wage is still $7.25. This is what generational wage theft looks like. Pay workers. Tax billionaires. #RaiseTheWage

“We need to keep thinking of people as consumers of healthcare” and if they don’t come back, we didn’t give them what they need - Shawn Malone from @PSIimpact
Honestly, we could have a week-long conference just on these four questions about knowledge and power imbalances in the SBCC field #SBCCSummit

Can anyone at @GhanaEmbassy_DC or @ghanainnewyork help me out? Really need my passport back from the NY Consulate, immediately.
There’s a lot of confusion around the status of abortion clinics in different states. First & foremost: We deserve better, and no one should have to wonder if, where, how, or when they can get abortion care. BUT there are ways to get the info & support you need: 🧵
