Kudos to Oakland Fairyland, an iconic children's park since 1950, which changed its sign as a land acknowledgement: It "recognizes the ancestral caretakers of the land—the Lisjan Nation—and reinforces the park’s commitment to amplifying Indigenous voices and stories within its programming." #heroes

I agree w/ Alison Taylor (via @bloomberg.com) that companies won't likely drop their climate programs because the new administration doesn't like them:

“This energy has got to go somewhere. A lot of corporations are underestimating angry employees, angry consumers, more campaigns, more activism.”
