7 Twitter accounts every progressive should follow

Who do you follow on Twitter? What progressives have the most interesting feeds and share the best information? Here is our list of some thoughts that people in the CREDO Mobile HQ office had about who you should follow on Twitter.

@ElizabethForMA
Of course we have to start with Senator Elizabeth Warren. If you are not following @ElizabethForMA you are missing out. No account on Twitter has gotten more under Donald Trump’s skin or made him more irritated.

@chasestrangio
Cha Lorena is a staff attorney with the ACLU’s LGBT & AIDS Project. He also founded the Lorena Borjas Community Fund, which provides direct bail/bond assistance to LGBTQ immigrants in criminal and immigration cases. His legal expertise in these areas is unmatched, as is the insight he shares on Twitter.

@AngryBlackLady
Imani Gandy wears many hats. She is the Senior Legal Analyst at Rewire News, the co-host of This Week in Blackness, and a prolific tweeter on issues of race and gender equality. Her writing is punchy and powerful, just as Twitter should be.


@MHarrisPerry
Do you miss Melissa Harris Perry’s show on MSNBC? Now editor-at-large at Elle and a special correspondent for BETNews, she brings the same intelligent and insightful commentary to Twitter.


@AnnieMLeonard
Annie Leonard created the Story of Stuff and now is executive director of Greenpeace USA. Her Twitter feed will bring you both environmental news and vital progressive commentary.

@Bill McKibben
Bill McKibben is an author, educator, environmentalist and founder of 350.org. He has led some of the most creative and successful environmental actions of the past few years. His Twitter feed is a mix of environmental news and activism you need to know about.


@lsarsour
Linda Sarsour is the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York and co-founded MPower. President Obama named her a “champion of change” for her civil rights activism, in particular on behalf of the Muslim community.
