The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Some friends and I wrote a letter to the Board. We asked for transparency, a clear process, and actual public input. That letter turned into a petition. You can read and sign it here:

This Thursday, the DPS Board will vote on the Superintendent’s contract. No formal evaluation has been shared. No public discussion. No real notice. Just vibes—and a likely board majority.

Ah yes, nothing says “transparent governance” like a surprise contract vote. Kudos to the political mastermind(s) who scheduled this for the chaos of end-of-year school events and the legislative session, when teachers, parents, and civil leaders are barely hanging on. Nice try😏

Why we don’t extend the school year by five weeks and make those last five weeks lower pressure and more fun for both students and teachers?

Over the last few years, I have observed a shift in how we hold those leaders accountable, depending on which political faction of the progressive community they belong to. This issue is not just isolated to the Denver school board.

We in Denver are fortunate to have strong Black and Latino leaders representing us on the school board, city council, and legislature.

I have long been fascinated by the interplay of politics and race in education. My last article sparked some debate and criticism. Those critiques gave me the courage to say things that have been on my mind for a while.

The DPS Board will soon be voting on new district maps, despite some attempts to further delay the process. Don't be played by the games. Review the final maps and make your own judgments.

It’s 2024 and @dps_k12 still hasn’t redistricted. I am hopeful this new board is up for the task and understands why this is important.

CA workers who cut countertops are dying of silicosis. 😢 The SF Valley is a hub for countertop fabricators. The majority of silicosis cases in CA are in my assembly district. I recently met with researchers/doctors and we are working on legislation.

The booming popularity of countertops made of engineered stone has driven a new epidemic of silicosis, an incurable lung disease, researchers have found.

STORYTIME, #coleg! Last night I attended an event at a local biz + had dinner with my bestie. When we returned to the garage, I was surprised to find 3 Wyatt's Towing employees in the stairwell, along w/ 3 idling tow trucks parked by where my Honda Accord had been. OH HELL NO! 1/

"Economists from across the political spectrum agree, investing in our kids is one of the best choices we can make for our country." - @SenatorBennet
The #ChildTaxCredit lifted millions of kids out of poverty and demonstrated that, in the wealthiest country in the world, we don't have to accept one of the highest levels of child poverty. WATCH as I discuss the 25-year-old CTC and the path ahead.
