Everyone should be able to be respected for the work they do, have enough time to take care of themselves, and make a living wage that pays for food, shelter, and the basic necessities of life. Students are also workers.

We are on strike (1) because of Columbia's unfair labor practices and (2) because we deserve a living wage, comprehensive healthcare, and protection from discrimination and harassment. #CUonStrike Donate to our strike fund: opencollective.com/student-worker…

Raising rates for oil and gas drilling will have a negligible impact on #climatechange. Raising the bonding rates, on the other hand, would ensure companies set aside more $$$ to clean up abandoned wells, which are a huge source of #methane emissions and cost taxpayers millions.

New Mexican tax payers could be charged $8.1 billion to clean up after the oil and gas industry. That's the difference between the costs of actual remediation and the small amount of money the state requires companies to to set aside for clean up. sfreporter.com/news/2021/05/2…

Santa Fe's inclusionary zoning laws made the city more affordable for some, but also exacerbated the housing shortage. Last week, in collaboration with the Solutions Journalism Network, I wrote about the actions that led us to this moment. bitly.com @soljourno

Can't get enough of this photograph that won first place in @SantaFeReporter 2021 photo contest. It totally captures the mood and feel of last year. Brings to mind the isolation of #COVID19, and the suffocating summer fires. sfreporter.com/news/coverstor…

COVID-19 has exacerbated Santa Fe's housing inequality, now fully funding the city's affordable housing trust fund is its best bet to get ahead of the problem. bit.ly/3cB0I3P #affordablehousing #COVIDー19 @leahcantor1

Housing challenges are BIG for Santa Fe, which is why @SantaFeReporter and @leahcantor1 have been working on a project with @soljourno on covering this issue. More stories on the way.

Meet 4 generations of Tesuque Pueblo women who voted together in an election where Native candidates are on a winning streak and the #NativeVote is tipping political scales. Yet #COVIDー19 kept far too many Native voters in NM from the polls bit.ly/2IgDfrh #SomethingElse

Big thanks to these women from four generations of one Tesuque Pueblo family who voted together on Election Day. Great grandmother Marie was 18 when Native Americans won the right to vote in NM. Gailene, 19, voted Tuesday for the first time #NativeVote2020 bit.ly/2IgDfrh

Redevelopment of Midtown could bring new jobs, film industry and needed housing to Santa Fe but if done wrong could accelerate gentrification. Local partners include @homewisenm, @abqstudios founders Pacifica Ventures, @SFCCNM, @Biohabitats, and many more. bit.ly/2YdB5hd

Why we chose not to air an @NPR piece about the New Mexico Civil Guard, and to instead run an interview with a Native American scholar about media coverage of the militia group + context about White vigilante violence in NM... a thread. kunm.org/post/dont-try-…

What Happened to Crime in Camden? Here’s a look at a city that tore up its police department and starting it again from scratch to fit a community policing model 8 years ago. Important lesson citylab.com/equity/2018/01…
