Happy #WorldCarFreeDay! This episode with Chicago @bikegridnow was particularly inspiring to us so listen up and let us know what you think of their idea to push for 10% of city streets to be bike prioritized. From bike buses to bike jams, they're having fun and being effective!

I'm seeing people try and say Highland Park is typical "Chicago".
Highland Park Illinois is where Michael Jordan lived.
It's where 16 Candles, Home Alone, Risky Business, and Ferris Bueller were filmed.
This is not "Chicago".
It's one of the wealthiest towns in America

1 in every 5 USPS workers are Black and about 40% are women.
Do with that what you will.
(But public service professions like USPS are critical pathways to mobility for populations affected by workplace discrimination and segregation.) #USPSisEssential #saveusps

Only a movement can beat Mitch McConnell.
We are the people he has ignored for decades. Black, Brown, and White Kentuckians, from the hood to the holler, we are rising up.
We were so invisible to him, he never saw us coming.

A reminder that if public schools shut down, millions of children will lose their access to some of the only meals they receive each day.
Food banks will become more important, and I've learned the best way to help is not to donate your spare canned goods, it's to donate money.
