The New Harmony Project's values are not for sale. The Trump administration wants us to abandon our values and principles and turn our backs on our diverse and inclusive community. We will not do it. Read our Open Letter about changes at the NEA here. www.newharmonyproject.org/news/2025/2/...

🚨 BREAKING: The @aflcio.org, EPI, and four major unions have filed an injunction against DOGE and the Trump-appointed Acting Sec of Labor.

Where are our #religious leaders who claim to fight for #socialjustice? The majority of America voted for #Trump. A small percentage voted for him out of spite for us. Most #Democrats voted against him. Some did not vote at all b/c of #Gaza. We have elections in 2 ys. Until then, what do we do now?

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

These cartoonists not G-ingAF are EVERYTHING. Two months ago I cancelled my WaPo subscription, my Prime and One Medical memberships, stopped ordering anything from Amazon, and stopped shopping at Whole Foods. Figuring out alternatives was way easier than expected, so #BoycottBezos
