Today we honor civil rights leader Cesar Chavez by pledging to organize for a better tomorrow. We also honor all of the activists who seek to empower their communities for a stronger future, and lift up voices of directly impacted communities.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.
He was not dead.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The Trump administration is still blocking grant money for climate and clean energy projects that has already been allocated. It's ignoring court orders that explicitly forbid it from doing so. So what's next? www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
