Precisely when a problem amounts to a “crisis” is subjective, contested, and politicized. Too often consensus around “crisis” depends on who is being hurt - the less powerful the people, the less likely considered a crisis.

We created a society that requires people to pay for space in which to exist. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Everything DC says it wants to accomplish in education gets harder when families struggle to meet basic needs. The federal government is retreating, now is the time to step up for one another.
Who are we in this moment? Will we seize the chance to confront rising inequality and extend lifelines to DC families and children? We know inequality and growth are linked. Will we choose a path toward equitable growth, or will we complicity leave many behind?

When ChatGPT debuted in 2022, no states had policies related to generative artificial intelligence (genAI). Fast forward to April 2025, and at least 28
