President Biden still has 103 days left to pardon Steven Donziger Human rights lawyer Steven Donziger's fight against Chevron over its pollution in the Amazon rainforest is reaching a critical moment that demands immediate action by President Biden. Steven Donziger helped Amazon Indigenous peoples and farmer communities in Ecuador win a landmark $9.5 billion pollution judgment against Chevron. He then spent almost three years under house arrest and in prison after being detained by Chevron in the nation's first corporate prosecution based on a questionable "contempt of court" charge. Chevron also took his law license and confiscated his passport. If Mr. Donziger is not pardoned, it is likely that thousands of people in the Amazon facing an imminent risk of death from Chevron's pollution will be left defenseless. Please join 11 members of Congress and dozens of prominent environmental and human rights organizations in urging Joe Biden to pardon Steven Donziger. This is a matter of fundamental justice for Steven, the people of Ecuador, and all climate justice advocates everywhere. Call the White House to demand action: (202) 456-1111 JOIN THE CAMPAIGN TO PARDON STEVEN DONZIGER https://lnkd.in/gQNRKSQY

关于我们
Welcome to the Women in Solar Energy (WISE) community. WISE is a non-profit 501(c)3 network advocating for JEDI principles of justice, equality, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of the solar energy industry. WISE was founded in 2012 to provide a more robust network within the solar energy industry to ensure that women and minorities are engaged across the spectrum of solar industry opportunities to maximum potential. The solar energy industry is growing 20x faster than the typical US economy, we believe this is a fantastic opportunity for women and minorities to get engaged and develop challenging and rewarding careers.

If there’s one statistic that describes the "working class" it is this: Of the 869,000 workers that are paid the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour or less, 69% are women, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Their ideal champion is one who fights for universal paid family leave, universal childcare, a higher minimum wage, improved regulations that guarantee paid sick days, and better enforcement of labor laws that protect them from wage theft and sexual harassment.
What most politicians get wrong about the working class: it's predominantly female. The working class is vaguely defined as not poor, but not middle class. It's working people who are surviving not thriving. Women are the majority of low-wage workers, women are the majority of workers in the lowest paid occupations, and women with a high school degree earn $6 less an hour than men with a high school degree. Which means a real working class agenda is the one that aims at low-paid women: paid family leave, paid sick days, child care, a higher minimum wage, and stringent labor law enforcement. But working class women are erased in political discussion because they 1) they aren't an important voting bloc and 2) they don't have a prominent economic history. In the US, the working class is often shorthand for the white working class male, which itself is shorthand for white men who don't have a college degree. As a group, they've switched political parties over the past forty years and they've seen a decline in real wages as high-paying blue collar occupations declined. They are unique, and their economic needs are important. Yet, in some ways, their needs have been met. The past four years have seen three massive bills that aimed directly at creating high-paying blue collar male-dominated jobs in the US: the infrastructure bill, green energy bill, and the chips bill. Keep in mind, if 'working class' is the same as 'not having a college degree,' more than 60% of Americans would fit. Working class is a title we bestow on certain men, a title that gives them political clout, but economically its a more appropriate term for the working women earning less than them, and they deserve policy too. https://lnkd.in/eg3MkQ52
