When rich countries cut already insufficient aid, they betray their promises to the world’s poorest to end hunger & invest in education & public health. It is a moral failure. More from Oxfam’s reaction to today’s OECD numbers on development assistance 👇

Amazon & Walmart's excessive surveillance of warehouse workers is becoming increasingly dystopic. Workers report that the constant pressure for inhuman productivity results in dangerous health & well-being outcomes.

Amazon Walmart stop this harmful surveillance now.

No one should need to choose between taking care of a sick family member and keeping their job, or struggle to feed their families. No worker should have to sacrifice so much just to make ends meet.
I join care advocates & workers from around the country to say .

.OxfamAmerica & Human Rights Watch presented clear evidence of Israel’s violations of international humanitarian law. Yet President Biden seems to be doubling down on supplying the bombs that destroy entire neighborhoods in Gaza. The time to stop lethal arms sales to Israel was yesterday.

Thank you KQED Forum, Alex de Waal World Peace Foundation & Rushdi Abualouf for important discussion on getting aid into Gaza. Famine is imminent in the north where 2/3 HH regularly go days and nights w/out eating. We need a , release of all hostages & safe humanitarian access.

As ushers in a spirit of unity and compassion I am heartsick by the relentless conflicts plaguing our world.

President Biden's was a forceful rejection of trickle-down economics.
