It turns out people really, really like to vote for a campaign that promises to do specific things to make their lives better, and that this motivates people a hell of a lot more than making a j/o gesture and telling them to enjoy the camps unless they pokemon GO to the polls.

The Black Panther Party learned that sickle cell anemia was a neglected genetic disease affecting mostly people of African descent. Although disease had been known since 1910, it attracted little govt attention and even less funding.
So the Panthers set up a screening program. #BlackSky #Disability

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

The single greatest threat to sharks, by far, so much that there’s not really a number 2 threat, is unsustainable overfishing. The single most effective thing folks can do to help is don’t buy unsustainable seafood. Notice I didn’t say give up all seafood. Sustainable seafood is great.
