Such a fun night at the #SneakerBall with the @CalVolunteers team celebrating the incredible org @iyt2013–10 amazing years supporting young men of color in CA. So grateful to be honored with their #ChampionsOfChange award. Just getting started together!

Vollhardt is white, and the boy is African American, he said. “While there’s been zero information that leads us to believe that this was a racially motivated altercation, we are not blind to the fact that racial dynamics are always present.”

My daughter was issued a detention because her iPad, when she arrived at school, was 93%. The assistant head, who I’ve since emailed, has set the expectation that iPads be no lower than 97% or pupils will be punished. I’m flummoxed. Has anyone heard of such nonsense?

My Biological Mother survived a rape at 16 years old, became pregnant, and gave me up for adoption at birth… I grew up to become one of the youngest elected officials in California State History and I am unapologetically Pro Choice. Here is why:

Cecelia Lewis, a Black educator, was asked to apply for a Georgia school district’s first-ever administrator job devoted to diversity, equity and inclusion. White parents rallied to chase her out of town. Then, they followed her to the next one. https://t.co/zBfc3tsM69

Thank you #CALeg, @Rendon63rd, and @SenToniAtkins for backing a $10M investment in #SB154 to help @CaliforniaDFPI support and #protectborrowers 👏👏👏 Please ensure these funds remain in the final state budget‼️‼️ @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom

Yesterday my 16-year-old brother was racially profiled in a neighborhood in Sanford Florida, the same city as Trayvon Martin. Luckily, he had a different fate. I commend my brother for how he reacted in the situation. They tried to throw a brick at his head, And missed.

This happened at Bridgewater Mall in New Jersey. Two kids get into a fight and the police show up. They pull the white kid to the side and proceed to handcuff and arrest the BLACK child only. This young man's name is Z’kye. He's just 14. He was kept in cuffs for 30 minutes, 😤.

It's time for our leaders to listen to students! Please #FixFinancialAid by including the #CalGrantEquityFramework into the final budget agreement. We can achieve #debtfreecollege for all!! #calgrantreform @CAgovernor @Rendon63rd @SenToniAtkins

It’s mens mental health month. It’s okay to ask for help. Your life matters.

Now is the time to support student loan borrowers when they need it most. @SenToniAtkins @Rendon63rd @NancySkinnerCA @AsmPhilTing please invest $30 million to @CaliforniaDFPI to support borrowers navigating changing rules, payments restarting, and much more!

📝 @iyt2013, which seeks to increase the number of young men of color that attend and graduate from colleges and universities:

Happening Now🚨#DebtFreeCollege Rally! “California has the envy with our #CalGrant program but does not cover the true cost of college.” @AsmKevinMcCarty @AsmJoseMedina @ConnieMLeyva @SantiagoAD53 #AB1746 @publicadvocates

The @CAgovernor's 2022-23 #CABudget fails to equitably target investments for Californian's youth, and this will hurt students in low-income, Black, and Latinx households the most. How can state leaders better support California students? 👇

TODAY @CaliforniaDFPI is hosting an important workshop on student loan forgiveness for Public Service workers 👏👏👏@NancySkinnerCA @AsmPhilTing join the discussion to see for yourself the valuable outreach that can be done with a $30M investment. https://t.co/IUan2DR8ct

THE COPS WERE ONLY THERE TO POLICE THE KIDS THEMSELVES HOW IS THAT NOT CLEAR

People in power will use this tragedy to impose stronger police presence at schools, further terrorizing our children
