Op-ed: "The U.S. is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, and Silicon Valley is one of the wealthiest areas in the country. But the question must be asked, who owns the wealth?" @smlipton sanjosespotlight.com/myers-l…
On Monday, I gave the keynote address to Sunday Friend's event on poverty. I took the speech and condensed it, and wrote this op-ed for San Jose Spotlight. sanjosespotlight.com/myers-l…

The @SVpainindex highlights the deepening inequality in Silicon Valley. Families are struggling to afford groceries and basic needs. I was proud to secure $1 million for @2ndharvest and I'm working to make childcare and housing affordable for all.

.@SJSU professor @smlipton has been a mentor to many and encouraged his students to lead more than 40 social change campaigns, including raising San Jose's minimum wage. And now he is retiring.

Like many of you, I am on my way out from Twitter. I have heard that Mastodon is clunky. Where else are people thinking about moving to?

SVPI stat 84
1,400,000,000,000: Total market value (i.e., “market capitalization”) of @Alphabet (@Google) Corporation in June 2022.
1 .4 trillion is 1.4 million million. With an economy that produces this much wealth, why is there so much social suffering in #SiliconValley?
