#HB1 violates the Florida Constitution by unlawfully taking away power from local govs to respond to their communities’ needs and stand up for racial justice. How? Check out the amicus brief we filed today signed by 45 LP members:

The groundwork for this was laid by community groups and advocates -- @reclaimtheblock @BlackVisionsMN @TakeActionMN & countless others -- who have been organizing for decades to reimagine public safety beyond policing. This is their vision.

Truly a gamechanging victory for people in Dallas, in Texas, and in the South as #paidsickdays become law in Dallas, giving more than 300,000 added financial stability. This was a monumental effort of working people, community organizers, and elected officials working together

For the cost of this house, Amazon could have paid its share of the 2018 Seattle progressive business tax for 10+ years. Instead, it fought to repeal the tax, which would funded homelessness programs.

At 10:15am, Governor Ron DeSantis undercut the liberty of every single person in Florida. He did so with the full support of the GOP-controlled state leg who fast-tracked this bill & ignored endless testimony from ppl across the state who opposed it. We won't stop fighting #HB1

We should be prepared at the local level to be the last line of defense for repro rights. #RoevWade Local govts can & must continue to advance reproductive freedom – including access to abortion, contraception, and gender-affirming care. Here’s what localities can do 🧵👇🏽
