“If Eli Lilly had the power to do this, which we knew they did, why didn’t they take these measures sooner? People with diabetes have been suffering and dying from lack of affordable insulin for many years.” statnews.com/pharmalot/2020…
@AmericaIsASham Here's a good one. State agencies are moving to online public meetings. Previously, the public had to physically be in person to participate. Obviously, that was bullsh$%# and discriminatory. puc.idaho.gov/Fileroom/Publi…
WOW, Chief Justice in Montana just issued this incredible directive asking judges to review their jail rosters and release, without bond, as many people as possible: courts.mt.gov/Portals/189/vi…. This is HUGE. It followed this letter we sent: aclumontana.org/en/news/aclu-m…
Can you bring more hand sanitizer with you onboard your flight? TSA says yes. The agency said it will allow passengers to bring liquid hand sanitizer containers up to 12 ounces in carry-on bags. bit.ly/2IN237i
1. @kroger and @WholeFoods have extended additional paid sick leave ONLY to workers who test positive for COVID-19 or are formally placed in quarantine. I obtained the policy for @Publix, another large grocery chain It's MUCH better popular.info/p/publix-health
I just signed into law paid sick leave to guarantee pay for those under mandatory or precautionary quarantine. In New York we stand with our workers in sickness and in health.
i love how this damn virus is exposing how much stuff just isn’t real. money? not real. licensing requirements? not real. needing to arresting people for non-violent? low-level offenses? not real. having to kicking people onto the streets because they can’t afford rent? not real.
NEW: As expected, @GavinNewsom issues EO allowing local govs to halt evictions: “People shouldn’t lose or be forced out of their home because of the spread of COVID-19. Over the next few weeks, everyone will have to make sacrifices – but a place to live shouldn’t be one of them"
Powerful statement by 31 prosecutors representing 17 million people calling for downsizing of jails/prisons in response to COVID-19, including cite & release policies, releasing people held because can't afford cash bail, and reducing immigration detention fairandjustprosecution.org/wp-content/upl…
In response to the #COVID19 pandemic, the #CADMV asked #California law enforcement to exercise discretion for 60 days in their enforcement of driver license and vehicle registration expiration dates beginning March 16, 2020. Read more at:go.usa.gov/xdt9d #Coronavirus
Now is not the time to be evicting people from their housing. That's why we are temporarily redeploying our @DenverSheriff deputies away from other areas of need within the department. @CityofDenver @DenverOEM denver.cbslocal.com/2020/03/18/cor… Story via @CBSDenver @Mekialaya
We're lifting ticketing on street sweeping on residential streets & making other changes to @LADOTofficial parking enforcement to help you during this difficult time. But enforcement will continue at metered spaces to help businesses & restaurants relying on takeout & deliveries.
Evictions in Scotland banned for next six months. "Nobody should face eviction because of the crisis we are living through," says Nicola Sturgeon at #FMQs today.
May we recognize that the systems we see as inhumane during a global pandemic—evictions, utility shut offs, holding ppl on cash bail, prosecuting sex workers—are inhumane all the time.
BREAKING: President Trump announces a suspension of foreclosures and evictions through April because of the virus outbreak. A growing number of Americans face losing jobs and missing rent and mortgage payments. apne.ws/26p5nFG
A Florida sheriff announced he's ordered the release of 164 inmates who are accused of non-violent crimes to help reduce the risk of the new coronavirus spreading in the jail. hrld.us/2xTDNyn
In response to coronavirus, Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner says his office will not hold anyone arrested for non-violent crimes “for any amount of cash bail.” In Seattle, DA Dan Satterberg announced he would only file charges in exceptionally violent cases. theappeal.org/prosecutors-ac…
