Martin Luther King, Jr., reminded us that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Change takes a long time - proud to be an actor in this vision for our future.

As my colleague @MattMortonPDX said, we can and must do more to address the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People in Oregon. Grateful for partners like @naahillaheefund who are providing support for impacted families: mmt.org/news/we-must-end-epi…
My colleagues @toyafick @BekahSabzalian @MattMortonPDX @forabetterOR are working every day for our children in Oregon. Ask yourself everyday, What have I done today to support our children? They need us today to help them charter their tomorrows.
We must do better for students of color, for all students and for a greater, more inclusive, safe and affirming community--it starts in our public schools. Thank you @toyafick

For many Indigenous people, the most shocking element of the story is not the discovery of the graves but the fact that it’s taken so long for non-Natives to acknowledge the grim details of this long-ignored history.

On Juneteenth, we can remember, reflect and recognize that liberation is achievable. But it won’t come only from marking a date in the past, it will come when we make liberation our destiny. #juneteenth

Celebrating #PeaceCorpsWeek with photos of my service in Chad from '92-'94, where I taught middle school math. Those two years set my life on a different path.
The parade was celebrating #WomensDay (March 8th/8 mars, 1994) in Bébalem, Chad.
