This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time.
This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.

There are so many families in this city who are now one to two months behind on rent. We are trying our best with gofundme’s and various pooled resources but this would be so helpful, especially for the many families who don’t know who to ask or how to find the resources that are out there
We need an EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW.
Our neighbors risk being separated from their families when they go to work. They also run the risk of being displaced if they don’t.
Sadly, Mayor Frey refused to sign the resolution calling on the Governor to enact this moratorium.

This is Minneapolis:
My neighbors are so desperate for food that delivered boxes of food are being picked up by other (presumably hungry apartment neighbors) before the intended recipient can open their door & take it inside.
Folks are at risk of eviction bc they haven't been able to work.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
