Did you know that last year, @academypgh placed more #webdevelopers into #Pittsburgh businesses than @CarnegieMellon?
The best part, half of those new #tech workers were from underrepresented groups. @tonymacklin1
BTW, #AcademyPGH12 just graduated. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

When I hear claims of being the best country in the world alongside calls to cut our global relief funsing, I have to ask, "Dose being 'the best' somehow obligate us to keep others down so they can't take that title away from us?" Our global policies mirror our domestic ones.
