Lucid and well researched is also how most conversations with my smart friend @jessiesingernyc go. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book!

I'm so proud that I got to work on this report. I hope this conversation will influence policymakers and practitioners as we move into a post pandemic world and elevate this essential work in a way that is long overdue, global pandemic or not.nccs.org/news/recovery-lab-l…
I try not to cry before breakfast but it’s sometimes hard to remember the essential value of the thing I do in this endless zoom mtg life. We have lost so much. Thanks ⁦@ahinderaker⁩ who photo edits for maximum weepage. #afterschoolisessential nytimes.com/2021/03/14/us/ny…

I'll be presenting next week in a session for new Community School directors - Leading with Passion and Purpose.
GREAT news that @NYCMayor & @DOEChancellor are expanding #CommunitySchools, the strategy young people need now! AND they must restore the cuts to Community Schools that are still in place-You can’t expand w/out restoring the cuts! #SAVECommunitySchools
NYC announces expansion of Community Schools! Research shows that students in #communityschools attend school more often, feel safer & are more likely to graduate on time. This is what we need now! Thank you @NYCMayor @DOEChancellor @NYCFirstLady for your leadership.

Seven shots in the back. Seven shots. Seven. In the back. For breaking up a fight. I'm undone. Shot in front of his children. I'm undone. As #JacobBlake fights for his life, his kids are fighting off their trauma. I'm undone.

(Ht Alex Tietel!) Last week, the NY City Council passed a budget that cuts $9.1 million in Community Schools funding. That's $9.1 million that goes directly to supporting equity in education for students and families in some of the highest-need communities in NYC.

Community schools will be absolutely essential to the holistic recovery of school communities all over the city. These cuts are unconscionable.

Hi, hello. Are you angry that City Council failed #DefundNYPD? Me too. But! I have good news. 35 out of 51 Members are term limited at end of next year. Let me introduce you to some progressives of color running for their seats, who could really use your support (thread):

"Counselors Not Cops" means hire counselors instead of cops. It does not mean transfer school safety agents from NYPD payroll to DOE payroll. What is that even?

NYC Homeless Services Workers demand that all money used to fund police involvement with homeless outreach be immediately redirected to social services and housing. medium.com/@nycdhslettertoth… These demands echo the findings just published in #HomelessCantStayHome report.

“Community schools as a means to democracy as a lived experience.” Is such a powerful framing of my dreams for this work. Relevant today as it ever was. Thanks @IraHarkavy #RiseUpForEquity
