“During this interview cycle, there will be no conference room with a long wooden table. We still challenge programs to address the concerns of the Black applicant who wonders, Do I fit in here?”

“It is community spread everywhere,” @jalinegerardin @NUFeinbergMed. But the main problem was allowing the virus to simmer at fairly high levels throughout the summer and what we’re seeing now is it’s in every age group. . . . It’s just everywhere.”

We continue to FIGHT for justice & liberation. The forced sterilizations at Irwin are one page in a textbook of U.S. violence against birthing people and we MUST say no more.

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.

It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.

Today is a good day.
