"In a rare, friendly move to low-income renters, Texas lawmakers this year outlawed a form of discrimination that allowed homeowners associations to ban some tenants from their neighborhoods.
"The move — spearheaded by state Rep. Chris Turner, a Grand Prairie Democrat — was aimed squarely at a North Texas neighborhood that tried to oust poorer tenants who get assistance from the federal housing choice voucher program and keep new ones from taking their place. The voucher program, known as Section 8, pays a portion of a low-income household’s rent."

Today in Labor History April 12, 1924: Chris Turner was born on this day in Floyd, Va. Turner, along with Fireball Roberts and Tim Flock, tried to organize the NASCAR drivers into a union in 1961. He was banned by NASCAR and lost his lawsuit to be reinstated. The court said he was an individual contractor, not an employee of NASCAR or any track.

I'm of the mind that anybody that tells you what the next decade's gonna look like has no idea what they're talking about but if I had to place my bets on just one book I'd bet on #ClimateOptimist by Calgary's own #ChrisTurner, whom I interviewed Tuesday night on #ClimateOfChange.
Please enjoy, climate-aware friends of #Mastodon!

#Climate awareness/#activism can wear on you. It's a huge, unfathomably important challenge & nobody's moving fast enough. Sometimes it's hard to see wins, let alone allow yourself to feel good enough about them but it's important you do & believe it or not, good news abounds. 🧵

It's almost impossible for climate to not get you down from time to time but our next guest #Calgary's own #ChrisTurner argues there IS reason for "qualified, necessarily compromised" hope & optimism and we bet you'll agree! We hope you'll join us Feb 28th at 7pm!

All of which leads me to ask: who better for our first ACOC of 2023 than #ChrisTurner, whose new book '#ClimateOptimist' contains one of the best chapter titles I've ever seen:
"The Highly Qualified, Necessarily Compromised Thrill Of Climate Victory."
I hope you'll join us.

🧵 As a longtime climate dude #ChrisTurner's "#ClimateOptimist speaks to me. There's every reason to be cynical/hopeless/plunged into despair but there's also every reason to start seeing a pathway out of here too & you're not helping anybody (let alone yourself) by ignoring it
