How do families know that our children are growing academically and gaining on time proficiency? Transparent data sharing! The data-cycle should include consistent dialogue with parents about growth and gain. It should include action planning with parents. #Growth #Gain #Data

Yes we had a great day! Thank you Senate President Coleman @ColemanforCO for your hospitality! Our 15 Educator Pillars were honored to be your guests. Thank you to Rep. Mandy Lindsay who hosted 10 of our SHIFT Fellows on the House floor. They had an amazing learning experience. More to come! #DoJustice

Our Family Advocacy Day at the Colorado State Capitol was amazing! More to come! #DoJustice

It’s Thursday! What is your commitment today to DO JUSTICE? When you consider the current realities that we are living in, how will you show up today? How will you not only demand JUSTICE but deliver JUSTICE for students who seem to be pawns in the continuous cycle of adult bickering and bargaining? Today is the day! DO JUSTICE!! @FaithBridgeCO @NMartinez_CO @TEN_Colorado @ChalkbeatCO @DenverGazette @denverfamilies

FaithBridge Family Advocacy Day - eventbrite.com/e/faithbridge-… Join us for a full day of learning, listening, and leading the charge for the transformations that are necessary for ALL children to live well and realize their hopes!! #DoJustice

Folks have been using our language around education deserts in CO. The question before us is do folks really want to eliminate education deserts now or are folks going to be complicit in maintaining the conditions that keep the problem in place and therefore tell the same communities to wait? No waiting. DO JUSTICE! NOW!! @NMartinez_CO @ColemanforCO @McCluskieforCO @GovofCoEspanol @GovofCO @baconforco @LindsGilchrist

If you think that the solution is making the same children, in the same families, in the same communities wait longer, you didn’t hear what we said. No waiting. DO JUSTICE now! It’s still true. “Justice delayed is justice denied.” Don’t tell me you are for students and righting historical and present wrongs when WAIT is your default. We know about wait. Tell’em Dr. King….. “For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." Yep. That part. We aren’t here for more cycles of never. DO JUSTICE NOW!! @CASBConnect @CASE_Leaders @ColoradoEA @DenverTeachers Come break bread with community. #DoJustice

@CPRBrundin Yes. We appreciate your work!

@FaithBridgeCO Thank you - I think you are referring to a photo that may have been attached to a story, I will check.

Another research project or study will not eliminate the injustices. Another report will not remedy the ongoing painful predicaments that people are living in. Another whitepaper will not liberate folks from the imposed social caste system. Think about it. How much more pain on paper do we need to see before people get serious about moving purposefully to rid ourselves of the injustices? Let’s write new chapters, no, write new books, not continue the same narratives and story lines. How about folks stop saying “we’re studying it” and start saying that “together we are solving for and eliminating it.” What can be, should be, will be! #DoJustice

How about this….folks quit spending millions researching the impacts of continuing injustices and instead resource the work of the people on the ground who work daily to transform lives and communities to eliminate the injustices (risk factors). The continuing research is heavily funded to look into the harm done and the work to actually remedy the harm gets crumbs, a piece of the slice, not the pie. We aren’t lab rats. No disrespect to lab rats, but see us! Respect our equal humanity. Resource the work to eliminate the injustices, not to write and publish another report, that will say what we already know! Injustices impede the individuals right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Fund us fully, at the same level and length that you have funded the research on us, so that we can keep changing the painful realities of persistent injustices! #DoJustice
