The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is locking $1.67 Billion from the American Recovery Plan. This money should be used to restore public transit for essential workers, people with disabilities, elders and youth who depend on busses and trains. Join us today at 12:30 pm at MTC. Call Alameda County reps to let them know that you want the ARP to be used to restore transit! Mayor Libby Schaaf: 510.238.7608 Supervisor Nate Miley: 510.272.6694

Today many of us (in Genesis and in a training that we are co-producing) were able to witness and listen to the stories of immigrants calling for Complete, Inclusive Immigration Reform. Unfortunately for all of us, but especially for the brave men and women who produced this event, we were invaded by a Zoom bomber who disrupted the event. This was an intentional assault on what is a controversial issue. As a community of people who are committed to justice, we are undeterred.... We made calls to our Representatives in solidarity and within an hour of the press conference, we made calls to 23 Congressional Reps. in 17 states. We resolve that we will stand with those in our communities who are essential workers and deserve Complete, Inclusive Immigration Reform. #Gamaliel #solidarity #solidaridad #sisepuede Organizing for Mission Network PLTS: Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary See more

Thanks to the Genesis Leadership Council for voting to oppose Proposition 22. Corporations like Uber and Lyft are attempting to buy their way out of labor laws. This is against our values and we stand with workers. #NoOnProp22 #VoteYourValues
