Around 500 people 65+ are dying per day in California. (~75% of all deaths.) In total, 6 million people in CA are 65+. CA currently has 2 million unused vaccine doses.
Thousands of avoidable deaths. This is a failure of managerial competence and should be a bigger scandal. https://t.co/mSRNGE8dVs

In all of the discussion about AB5, it seems underreported that a significant majority of the tech platform workers seem to prefer the contractor model.
Below survey done by former driver. (https://t.co/VfjQBK5Vyo.) Different company found 80% majority prefer contractor status. https://t.co/mFNkwXMbMF

3/ We are making a $250k donation to @FeedingAmerica & @FoodBanksCanada to support communities of color that are disproportionately struggling with food insecurity. We're also donating $250k to @eji_org, an organization that challenges racial and economic injustice.
