I’m not “self made”. I’m community made, I’m family made. I’m land made. I’m ancestor made.
I’m made up of everything and everyone that made me exist outside just myself.

BREAKING: the @NBCNews Decision Desk has seen enough. Joe Biden wins Pennsylvania and the White House, defeating President Donald Trump.

I'm for delaying the start of city-wide in-person schooling in NYC. I'm not alone. @NYCMayor @DOEChancellor. Remote learning starts tomorrow. The in-person return to schools is apparently next week. We still have a million questions #onlywhenitssafe docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

You don't have to be a math major to understand the cruelty here. @NYCMayor, who is projecting a 3.5% loss in revenue, is proposing a 25%(!) cut to @NYCYouth. Including a 100% cut to SYEP. This is insane. We're going to keep fighting this with all we have. #SaveSYEP
The proposed cuts to the DOE, while totally devastating, represent about 2% of the agency's budget. The proposed ~$200 million in cuts to @NYCYouth, which runs the city's summer and afterschool youth programs, represent about a QUARTER of the agency's entire budget.
Yes, this! → “I wonder what youth joint struggle work looks like.”

How do you ensure the youth voice is heard within your schools, programs, councils, and decisions? #YouthParticipationMatters #stateofthefieldconference2019

"We're not promoting youth participation because it's good for their development, we're promoting it because it's young people's right." - Sarah Zeller-Berkman, @CUNYSPS #YouthParticipationMatters
Two high schools in Chelsea are segregated by a staircase. Students are striking outside in the cold to demand that @NYCMayor and @DOEChancellor issue a citywide integration plan. I join their call for action! #IntegrateNOW teenstakecharge.com/campaign – at Queens, NY
