On #Juneteenth, everyone should read my friend Eric Ward’s essay in Newsweek. “Juneteenth is less a celebration and more a wake-up call for the necessity of organizing to prevent the erosion of rights, liberty, and fairness.” https://lnkd.in/egHe4pe8

Incredibly inspired to be at LIUNA Organizing For Growth conference, where 450 of the most dedicated people in our labor movement prepared to expand the American Dream for all workers! (And also, found out #TheGreatEscape is popular reading here!)

I was thrilled to take a deep dive into my book #TheGreatEscape with Michael Zeldin on his podcast #ThatSaid. The book inspired Michael, and he inspired me! Join us on your favorite platform. https://lnkd.in/eQWaZWHt

My #TEDtalk is live at https://lnkd.in/ev9qFBf2! It’s about the small miracles happening after climate disasters, when immigrant workers and Red state residents come together to create hope out of pain. Please watch and share your voice. #IdeasWorthSpreading #ClimateEmergency #TEDSpeaker

Exciting news! My #TEDTalk will be released next Wednesday, May 1, at 11AM ET. Watch and join the conversation on where hope is being born—even for the renewal of democracy itself. #ClimateResilience #IdeasWorthSpreading #ChangeMakers #ClimateEmergency TED Conferences Resilience Force

Thanks to the Sanders Institute for convening a critical discussion about our housing crisis. Each year, tens of thousands of Americans have their homes damaged by climate disaster. I joined our champion Rep Pramila Jayapal to talk about her groundbreaking Climate Resilience Workforce Act and the essential work of Resilience Workers.

I’ll be visiting 4 more cities for #TheGreatEscape Paperback Book Tour this spring! If you don’t see your city on the list, stay tuned for more event announcements through the second half of the year.

What a way to end the year - with #TheGreatEscape on The New York Times Most Notable Books of 2023 list. It took the courage of 500 men to launch the freedom journey in the book. I was honored to be a part of their story.

NPR's 2023 Books We Love list is out - and my book #TheGreatEscape is on it! "Reads like a movie script." I'm floored. Thanks NPR, and to #FreshAir for having me on, and to Bridget Bentz Sizer for this generous review.
