Join @sfececoalition and educators and families tomorrow (June 6) at 3PM At City Hall to make a public comment protesting these proposals. If we don't #SpeakNow, it will be like we have never spoken.

These cuts threaten a crucial goal: expanding access to childcare and preschool that would improve early childhood outcomes, especially for children in communities of color that are farthest from opportunity.

Another @SFBART delay. My third in three trips. And nope, it’s not my imagination. #bartdelay sfist.com/2022/10/14/bar…

My colleague Ruth Fernandez at @First5CoCo and I wrote this @EdSource commentary urging Congress to not forget about children and families.

OPINION: President @JoeBiden originally proposed $400 billion for early child care and preschool in#BuildBackBetter. We call on the Biden administration and Congress to pick up where the Inflation Reduction Act left off. #EarlyEducation #childcare edsource.org/2022/the-infla…

@annehelen I got divorced and moved thousands of miles to another continent to start a PhD program and a new life. So grateful that I was able to. I found myself and it turns out I’m AWESOME. I’d never have learned that if I’d stayed in my marriage.

the other day someone told me what she really needed to actually pull the trigger on a potential divorce trigger was a panel of thriving divorced ladies approximately her age who could rapid fire answer 100 questions about post divorce life

@VoltarCH I went from (quasi) academia to the nonprofit sector and after 3 years, I have many similar takeaways. Thanks for sharing!

Yesterday was my last day of working at Google. Perhaps this comes as surprise to you twitter folks, as I haven't widely announced that I left academia to try something new. Here's what I learned in 9 months as a Data Analyst who (temporarily) left Astronomy for Big Tech. 1/n

Reply in this thread if you've never had COVID and your best guess as to why you haven't.

A day in the glamorous life of a nonprofit ED: making multiple calls to local gov't to explain why a contract requiring a digital portion, two sets of signature and notary pages, and forms L-1 and L-2 is excessive. Especially when our services come at no cost. #bureaucracy

The events of the last few weeks have left me feeling like the world is imploding. The SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is a devastating blow not only to Americans who are or might become pregnant but also to children, families, and communities.

I'm convinced none of us can reach our true potential alone. Everyone needs a mentor, a teacher, a coach. Who's that person in your life?

What's an organization that isn't religious or through your kid's school that has allowed you to build connections, however loose, with people who aren't your own age?

@penton_maggie I just ordered 6 boxes from my niece. I’m in too.

@dtothetk Yes…and, let’s also reimagine and design school so it’s more aligned with learning. If we’re going to ask kids to spend so much time in school, it’s the least they deserve.

@nkybeth @santoro_sal @SenatorSchickel This resonates! I’ve been trying to lobby our school district to increase the number of volunteers who can help with things like gate duty and yard duty, and it’s been harder than you’d think.

Just wanted to take a second to reflect on the process of applying to be a substitute teacher in Boone County and share a few thoughts for the KY legislature. @santoro_sal and @SenatorSchickel, hoping you might spend a moment with me here:
