With a focus on Community, Sustainability, Reducing Light Pollution, growing Native Flora and creating a livable and thriving home for the night dwelling Fauna (nocturnal animals, insects, and people too), and obviously, don't forget the Punk.

Lunarpunk is a very new and slowly growing subgenre and community, please continue to add new ideas, add to the conversation of sustainability, do research in your own area about the local flora and fauna, what you can do to help reduce light pollution, even if it's just coming from your home, how to be more energy efficient, how to reduce waste, save money on electricity, see if you can switch your lights to LEDs, speak with your neighbors about switching as well.

Any little bit counts.

” We had actually hoped that workers would have an agreement with earnings and budget-friendly health insurance prior to the argument next week,” Susan Minato, co-President of Local 11, said in the declaration. “Instead, workers will be picketing when the candidates pertain to campus.”

The Democratic National Committee said in a declaration that it was dealing with all celebrations involved to discover “an acceptable resolution” that will permit the argument to move forward.

” The DNC and LMU learned of this concern previously today, and it is our understanding this matter developed within the last day,” Xochitl Hinojosa, the DNC communications director, stated in the declaration. “While LMU is not a celebration to the negotiations in between Sodexo and Unite Here Local 11, Tom Perez would never cross a picket line and would never expect our candidates to either.”

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted that Resident 11 “is defending better wages and benefits– and I stand with them. The DNC ought to find a solution that measures up to our celebration’s commitment to eliminate for working people. I will not cross the union’s picket line even if it implies missing the argument.”

Tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang also tweeted that he would not cross the Regional 11 workers’ picket line to participate in the argument. “We should live our worths and there is absolutely nothing more core to the Democratic Party than the fight for working people. I support @UNITEHERE11 in their defend the compensation and advantages they should have,” he composed

Billionaire envrionmental activist Tom Steyer tweeted that if the conflict between Regional 11 and Sodexo “is not solved prior to the dispute, I will not cross the picket line. I rely on the DNC will find a solution ahead of the dispute, and I stand with @LoyolaMarymount employees in their fight for reasonable wages and advantages.”

” I take the argument phase to stand up for workers’ rights, not to weaken them,” tweeted South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg. “I stand in uniformity with the employees of @UNITEHERE11 at Loyola Marymount University and I will not cross their picket line.”

Speaking at a roundtable of labor leaders in Miami, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar stated: “I do not think we must cross a picket line. So I would motivate the DNC to try to work this out to find a new place, or they’re going to have to find out how to fix this.”

The California Labor Federation, which is comprised of 1,200 affiliated unions, had actually advised the White House contenders to not participate in the dispute amidst the protests, tweeting: “Every democratic prospect has actually pledged to combat for working individuals. It’s time to put those words into action.”

The planned demonstrations and candidates’ ultimatums mark the 2nd time a campus labor battle has upended prepare for the December argument, slated to be the last party-sanctioned telecasted online forum of the year.

UCLA said in a declaration it had “consented to step aside as the website of the debate instead of become a possible interruption during this vitally important time in our nation’s history.”
