This is worth reading, from @propublica. Good relationships among leadership teams matter.
California’s governor and San Francisco’s mayor worked together to act early in confronting the COVID threat. For Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio, it was a different story, and 27,000 New Yorkers have died so far. propub.li/3cOmnCA
Proud of the broad coalition signed on to this demand that vulnerable communities be protected from discrimination in #COVIDー19 response legislation.

At @vice, I spoke to nearly two dozen LGBTQ nonprofits across the country about the impact COVID-19 has had on them. I don't even know what to say about this story, except that you absolutely need to read it if you care about the future of LGBTQ advocacy.

And in the midst of all this #COVID19 chaos, there’s still amazing work being done. Check this out, from @URGE_org

A quick Elizabeth Warren story that's been on my mind this morning.
I sat down with Warren back in June. I was one more interview squeezed between back-to-back events in California, which was itself a trip squeezed between the time she was spending in the early states.

‼️The House just voted YES to override the Governor’s veto of minimum wage‼️
When we rewrite the rules so that families can care for and support themselves, we boost the economy. #vtpoli
Thanks to @kplumhoff for this deep dive into child care benefits for workers in the US, including insight on additional challenges for #LGBTQ parents from @family_equality.
Dug deep into childcare for @hellogiggles and came out bummed about the status quo and hopeful about some potential areas for innovation and investment (hello, universal childcare; until then, hello, childcare as a work benefit):

This new framework (and the website it’s presented on) are great. Take a look, and considering throwing some $$ their way. This is important work.
After two years of posting bail for nearly 10,000 people, we've created a vision for true pretrial justice, beyond abolishing bail.
It is informed by our experience going into jails across the country and meeting thousands of people trapped by bail.

When we were in Albany this week lobbying for the #ChildParentSecurityAct I took a minute with comedian @MichelleButeau to get her surrogacy story on camera. She rocks! What a powerful advocate. #LoveMakesaFamilyNY
When @MichelleButeau ran into roadblocks trying to start her family, she turned to surrogacy—only to learn that it's still illegal in NY. Join Michelle in advocating for the #ChildParentSecurityAct by contacting your NY lawmaker today! fmeq.co/NY #LoveMakesaFamilyNY

The Senate has adjourned for the day. The deadline for a smoke out has passed. HB 1057 is gone. Other states - follow South Dakota’s lead and dump your anti-trans bills now. #sdleg
