Now would be an excellent time to:
- close windows and curtains
- water plants
- put water bottles in refrigerator
- drop a few wet washcloths in the freezer for a fast cool down later.
Today. Will. Be. A. Scorcher.

“Invite young people to look at policies that are going to be directly impacting them. That’s intuitive to me, but not to many legislators. We need to involve young people in the making of policies that are going to affect them.” -Alana Nayak from @MYCommission

“It’s awful to feel invalidated. Our systems aren’t validating people like me. You need to be confident that even if you don’t understand the terminology, you can still question the policies in place and believe in your existence”- Alana Nayak fron @MYCommission

“We need people to vote. We need people to make sure they’re involved in the upcoming election. Voting is just the first step. We need to make sure those who are representing us listen to us and look like us” -@lamarwise3

“In order to change hearts and minds it takes lots of conversations. It’s way harder said than done. On a daily basis, I’m having conversations like these and it feels like I’m fighting for my existence.” -@lamarwise3

“SROs are inherently hurting bipoc students. We need to see the removal of SROs in schools. We need to see an increase in mental health resources. We need people dedicated to students that aren’t involved with our racist criminal justice system” -@MYCommission Alana Nayak

“I haven’t been in high school in 27 years. But we were fighting the Iraq War, climate change, and racial injustice. We haven’t seen the change we’ve been fighting for. We shouldn’t be surprised about what’s happening in 2020” -@JVP_MultCoD3
