Monday Motivation. "The best way to find yourself is to get lost in the service of others." ~ Mahatma Ghandi If you're feeling a little lost or overwhelmed by the news and the business of life, try to carve out a little space to help someone. #compassion #makegood

As leaders from around the world continue #climatechange talks at #COP26, our WE Day Kentucky youth are taking action on the ground. Environmental justice spurs youth to protect the planet and the dignity of its people each day through acts of service.

Youth making impact, like our very own #WEDayKY Youth Board member, Lionheart Joseph Paige. He was recognized as a CHAMP by @JCPSKY for his eloquent speaking, message, and passion when discussing issues that impact our community!

What’s your passion? Each year over two thousand youth gather at #wedaykentucky to celebrate their service and shared passions. And in 2022, we’d love to see you! Pre-register today. linktr.ee/wedayky

A reminder from both Wayne Gretzky and Michael Scott from the Office to take risks.

@mandy_mclaren That’s a very moving story. Thank you for sharing it.

THREAD: I left Jefferson Square Park at 8:40, hoping to run up to the CJ and use the restroom before curfew set in at 9. As someone who writes about Louisville’s kids for a living, I think it’s important I tell you what happened next.

We should not be arresting peaceful people for being out after an arbitrary curfew. Allow pleas for justice and grief to be expressed peacefully, and they will be expressed peacefully. If not expressed peacefully, arrest/cite the people causing actual harm. Can we try this?

This week, we will be focussing on the importance of volunteering with a panel discussion! Check out the blog post here:

WE Day KY provides resources to inspire young people in Kentucky to find their spark and empower them to make an impact and lead change on issues they care most about. Racial injustice, inequity and discrimination are at the top, and students are showing up for change!
