This is what I see at work all the time. This is environmental racism. We can -- and MUST -- do better. No coal in Richmond. No coal in our children's lungs. We need a just transition NOW. sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/video/4883909-…

.Stacey Abrams is my friend & a mentor. She is a leader & organizer. Over the past few months, her work has saved our democracy & proven that when faced with adversity you never give up. Because of her leadership, we are witnessing the birth of a #NewSouth Thank you Stacey!

When the Capitol is cleared and secured, and the joint session of Congress and the electoral vote count is completed, the House and the Senate should proceed immediately to the impeachment and removal of Donald J. Trump.

Donald J. Trump should immediately be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate as soon as Congress reconvenes. This is dangerous & unacceptable.

Hello Medical Educators, should education on climate change and health impacts and healthcare sustainability should be included in UME and GME curricula? If so, how quickly do you think this needs to be implemented and ideas on how do we find space in already crowded curricula?

Nearly 1 in 5 deaths are linked to fossil fuel pollution. And deaths from fossil fuel combustion exceed deaths from malaria by a factor of 20. It's time medical schools teach about this global health crisis. It's time we take action to #InsureOurFuture

.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who represents the Bronx and Queens, has now raised $2 million in relief for Texas. She’s also flying there today to help distribute supplies. She’s doing the job that Ted Cruz refuses to do.

Resilience for whom? This is the capital city of a U.S. state, without drinkable water for a solid month. Similar inequities in Puerto Rico after the hurricanes. We aren't resilient as a country until all of us are.

The transportation sector is the largest carbon emitter & a major source of dangerous air pollution. Electrifying our cars, trucks, and buses is a pathway to cleaning the air we breathe and protecting health. #ClimateIsHealth
