NYC population data has people 20-40 as ~30% of the population of NYC. BLS data suggests exactly this slice of the population is disproportionately employed in food service & accommodations. The city has reopened restaurants.

Four people have tested positive for COVID-19 at the DC jail and an urgent intervention is needed. Councilmember Charles Allen, is drafting emergency legislation to release people who are within 6 months of completing their sentence. This legislation does not go far enough.

Activists occupying @Chase Bank branch in DC w/ a clear call to #RejectTeck!

Injured Amazon warehouse workers are protesting today in Chicago. I talked to a former worker and organizer about conditions in automated warehouses, like Illinois' MWD7, and why Chicago is such a critical spot for Amazon labor organizing. vice.com/en_us/article/ywaaa…
