I am always proud to be a Casillas, but today the rest of the country is sharing in acknowledging how cool my siblings are. Look out world! (And trust the other 8 of us have articles to be written about them, too!) Andale! https://t.co/4r3Sj8rHLL

I represent lots of "those moms" and some who don't knw enough to be able to be "that mom." I hope more teachers can get to this realization without having to walk the same path, but appreciate the affirmation for these parents in this story. https://t.co/daRGCnRDiy

My father, Juan, overcame barriers to become a doctor and entrepreneur. He believed his children could achieve anything with education, hard work and persistence. To all fathers and father figures, thank you for your commitment to our limitless futures. Happy Fathers Day.

While this day in 1865 marked the end of slavery, it was not the end of systemic racism. @SBAgov we honor Black Americans who fought for freedom and we recommit ourselves to the pursuit of equality to build this country back better for future generations. #Juneteenth

Congratulations to @gracenapolitano for getting her bill, H.R. 721 passed through the U.S. House of Representatives! Our students need to have access to mental health supports when they need it, and Rep. Napolitano has worked hard to bring attention to this need. Thank you!

1/2 March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. We encourage everyone to recognize and continue to push for equal rights for persons with developmental disabilities.

[Alexis Casillas @AlexisVCasillas]

Made me pause as I compared how we talk about our special education system. Imagine if issues for our students with disabilities were framed with similar superlatives--Not just basic floor of access and safety... but most possible access & most possible protection and benefit?

[Austin Beutner @AustinLASchools]

Reopening Schools in the safest way possible.

[National Council on Disability (NCD) @NCDgov]

The report is looking at SSI, SSDI, SNAP, Medicaid, and also a little bit at transportation.
