Demand ASL interpreters and real-time closed captioning services at tonight’s FINAL presidential debate: Tweet @debates to do so -- otherwise it's discriminatory. #DisabledandBlack #debates @ColorOfChange
While the Commission on Presidential Debates (@debates) claims to “bring high-quality debates to the American electorate,” it has failed to provide ASL interpreters or accurate closed captioning services at any of the debates thus far! This is unacceptable. #DisabledandBlack

#JusticeforBre means divesting from the system that savagely took her life. @CouncilmanJames must take action immediately to divest from the LMPD and invest in communities. Sign the petition here: act.colorofchange.org/sign/j…

.@kyoag's failure to bring charges for the murder of #BreonnaTaylor is another injustice. AG Cameron just told @LMPD it is OK to kill Black people w/ impunity. @kyoag and #Louisville leaders' decision to stand w/ the cops who murdered Breonna is why we shout #BLACKLIVESMATTER!

This you? 🤔
These pictures cry out for change. CA has invested more in wildfire prevention than any time in our history. Enacted bold climate policies. But it’s not enough. We must do more. We need action at EVERY level. CA cannot do this alone. Climate change is REAL. So please — VOTE.

In the aftermath of another heat wave, it's worth talking about trees. Trees play a big role in mitigating heat. But about 1/5th of LA’s tree canopy is found in just four neighborhoods. That means 1% of LA residents live among 18% of our trees. (thread) treepeople.org/sites/default…

The locations of urban heat islands today are a direct result of racist urban planning practices. A recent study across 100 cities found that formerly redlined neighborhoods are five degrees hotter on average in summer. nytimes.com/interactive/2020…
