It’s time to take action, Tumblr. It’s time for Action on Tumblr.

If you woke up in an America you don’t recognize, if you feel heartsick and scared, if you’ve found some smoldering hope inside of you, if you’re ready to get to work, if you’re fired up to fix this damn place, take Action.

In the buildup to the election, Tumblr hosted important conversations about issues that matter. Today, we’re moving from education to action. With Action on Tumblr, we’ll be handing the megaphone to the marginalized and letting them speak for themselves. In fact, right at this very moment you can ask an undocumented immigrant about her experiences, advice, concerns, hopes—anything—and so far her answers are a hell of a read. 

We’ll be providing venues for you all to connect with each other and become your own collective agents of change. We’ll be listening to you and supporting you. Whatever we can do to help you determine the future of the world you live in, we’ll be doing it.

We all need to work together, and we need to work fast. When you’re ready to get to work, or if you’re already making action happen, be sure to post about it and tag it #takeaction. 

Cop forces disabled Black man to get off the cable car (run by SFMTA) because the driver is afraid of his pitbull service dog.

In a viral video shared by San Francisco resident and attorney Gina Tomaselli, a man with a pit bull is seen sitting in a cable car as he argues with a San Francisco Police Department Officer. The operator “refused to drive the cable car unless the disabled man got off the car — even after he presented written documentation of the dog’s status, and then issues him a citation.”

Trained service animals are allowed to ride free of charge on all Muni vehicles, and service dogs may travel without a muzzle but “must be under the control of their owners,” the policy reads, and service animals must ride on their owner’s lap, under the owners seat, or as “far out of the aisle as possible,” and animals may not occupy a seat.

We can clearly see that the dog is calmly sitting on its owner’s lap.

This behavior towards DISABLED Black man is totally unacceptable. In America this could only happen to a person of color. They wouldn’t dare to ask a white person with disabilities to disembark the cable car and nobody would call him asshole.

Please, share.
