Black families spend more of their income on energy bills than the average U.S. household – a gap tied to older housing, rental barriers and the legacy of redlining.
Black families pay more to keep their houses warm than average American families

Found out today that my state cut all preexisting funding for overdose prevention, addiction, & “harm reduction efforts to reduce overdose rates and deaths.”
The city I live and work in has as many overdose deaths as San Francisco and my state is in the top worst for overdose for the past 15 years.
