If we can sell 41 copies we can raise enough money to cover electricity costs for their Pink Shelter in Mexicali (one of the hottest places in the Northern hemisphere). @borderkindness provides migrants, refugees, and the displaced with comprehensive services that include food, shelter, clothing, and medical care. They and we believe everyone should have opportunity to live free of pain, hunger, intimidation, and fear — something our current administration does not. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Already bought a mag?

The artist #JennyHolzer was 25 years old when she began compiling her “Truisms,” more than 250 cryptic maxims, terse commands and shrewd observations. Culled from world literature and philosophy, some of the one-liners are judgmental (“Any surplus is immoral”), others bleak (“Ideals are replaced by conventional goals at a certain age”), and a few echo the half-baked platitudes found in fortune cookies (“You must have one grand passion”). The most resonant are the political ones, none more so than “Abuse of power comes as no surprise,” pictured here. At the link in our bio, three artists and a pair of curators attempt to make a list of the era’s 25 essential artworks, Holzer’s “Truisms” included. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Artwork © 1982 Jenny Holzer, member Artists Rights Society (ARS), N.Y, courtesy of Jane Dickson, project initiator and animator, and Public Art Fund, N.Y.

Still fully obsessed with the art of @molly_bounds! I found Molly’s work years ago on the grams and loved it so much that asked to use one of her paintings for the cover of our 5th print issue (and commissioned her to do a new piece for the back)! If you’re in Oakland, do yourself a favor and check it her solo exhibition, “How You Carry Yourself” at @pt.2gallery now. If not in the Bay area — give her a follow instead! • #mollybounds #womenartists #gotagirlcrush
Photos of medical items that CVS tossed, including sealed and unexpired medicine, tampons, soap, toothpaste, and bandaids. • CVS has nearly 10,000 stores across the US and each location dumps hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds of usable goods per year. This amounts to millions of pounds of unnecessary waste per year. • We can’t afford this waste, not as a planet and not as a community. • I hope that you’ll consider signing and sharing the @changedotorg petition urging @cvspharmacy to #donatedontdump. If you have any questions or suggestions for the campaign I’m over at @thetrashwalker and would love to hear
@birdsnestfoundation made a short video about the @changedotorg petition urging @cvspharmacy to #donatedontdump. This would not only divert food, medicine, and other usable goods from landfills and incinerators, but would also help those in need. • One important thing to note is that #CVS is not the only company that dumps usable goods instead of donating them or letting employees take them home. It’s a common retail practice throughout the US and the world. • I think that CVS is a good starting point, though, given their ubiquity (they have nearly 10,000 stores across the US); profitability (this is not a struggling mom and pop store. Their CEO Larry Merlo was paid almost $22 million last year); and their projected image of being a community-centric healthcare provider. • So I’m hopeful that as result of public pressure and negative publicity, CVS will change its policy, and then we’ll build on that momentum to get all retail stores to change their wasteful practices.
Hi! It’s Anna (@thetrashwalker). First, I wanted to share my change.org/cvs petition (linked in bio), urging CVS to #donatedontdump. Here’s the petition text: • For about a year, I’ve walked up and down the streets of New York City in the evenings to save perfectly good food and other items from CVS’s trash, which I then gift to friends, family, and people in need. • I find it ridiculous - and frankly disrespectful - to see how much CVS wastes when millions of people, including CVS’s own employees, struggle to put food on the table. • CVS, as a policy, throws out excess, slightly damaged, or about-to-expire merchandise. In CVS's trash in New York I've found unopened toothpaste, bars of soap, tissues, and shelf-stable food like Oreos and oatmeal (which safely can be eaten months after the best by date*). All of this should have been donated. • Over the course of several months I've emailed CVS's CEO Larry Merlo about this multiple times, and as direct result have spoken to regional management about this multiple times. They've promised to donate more, but nothing has changed. I'm hoping this petition can pressure CVS to make donation their default. • Tell CVS to #donatedontdump • Donate to a local shelter, food pantry, or church. CVS has a national partnership with Feeding America, but still a lot of food and usable merchandise is thrown out. CVS should not only allow regional managers to form partnerships with local charities, but should reward them for doing so (make it part of their performance appraisal, for example). • If donation is not a possibility, allow employees to take home food and other usable items that would otherwise be thrown out. Employees, most of whom make minimum wage, are forbidden from taking home or donating excess merchandise to those in need, and might be fired for doing so. CVS should allow employees to take home items that would otherwise be thrown out. Thank you for your help! I hope you'll sign and share this petition -Anna *Legally, only baby formula needs to have a best by date. Best by dates on all other products are voluntarily put there by manufacturers and often only
🚨TAKEOVER ALERT🚨 Tomorrow meet Anna, or @thetrashwalker, who is trying to divert as much as possible from landfills and incinerators. To do this, she walks around Manhattan and pulls out usable items from the residential trash and recycle, and then either keeps or gifts these items to friends, family, and strangers. While on these #trashwalks, she noticed that every @cvspharmacy store throws out huge amounts of usable goods like food, bandaids, tampons, greeting cards etc. At first she tried working with CVS’s CEO and regional manager to create systemic change. When that didn’t work, she started a change.org campaign urge CVS to #donatedontdump. Learn more tomorrow 7/20 on our account and give her a follow in the meantime (you can sign her petition in her profile, too). ♻️♻️♻️
