One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback.

When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

Hearing that Angie Stone died while fighting for her royalties from UMG is saddening.

“We begin to research things to check for my royalties and my statements and things of that nature only to find out that they have all pretty much been stolen.”

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org
We're not done yet | 18F

The administration got rid of 18F under the cover of night. People who own skyscrapers are afraid of 100 people who make websites.

Not because of the latest tech fad, but because we proved the government can be fixed, the government can be made better and the government can work for the people.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Feb 21:

Q: Enough about racism for a second. Take a break! I'm worried about gender issues in the US too. For example, why is the gender pay gap in the US so large? It's one of the worst in the OECD!

A: You already know that it's racism.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man before he was a martyr.

A father, husband, son, and man who had a bold vision for revolutionary change.

As we celebrate his 96th birthday & reflect on his legacy, let's not forget his humanity.A photo of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. & his family.

Support people while they are struggling, but don't stop once they're in a better place.

This. 🙌🏽
I also like to laugh at work/while working.

That’s how I reduce cognitive load.
I hope it’s not a bother I like to be a reminder we are humans outside of work that deserve silly moments. Life’s too precious to not have a good laugh 💕😭
