Last day of the NC Chapter Progressive Governance Academy Local Progress it was educational and exciting to here what's going on in our neighboring towns around the Triad and Triangle with our State Legislative members and , School Board @KimRoneyAVL@LocalProgress
The 2023 @LocalProgress School Board Convening was truly exceptional! I have learned SO MUCH in the last 48 hours and I’m incredibly inspired to get back to work in Plainfield, NJ! Special thanks to @Channel_Az for recommending it and to my BOE colleague, Azim for coming along!
That's a wrap!
Two full days of strategizing, peer learning, community building, and leadership development at our first-ever school board convening! ⚡️
This is only the beginning. Let's go!! 🙌🏽
I have known this man for the last 5+ years as my supervisor. He’s the right choice! Congrats to the board, and to our members: We could have never had a bigger advantage than hiring an architect of our current work taking over the reigns.
Congrats, @IvanLS24 I got your back
Today, we’re thrilled to announce our next Executive Director:

I don’t often agree with @CaseySeiler at the @timesunion, but on this I agree completely!
Seiler: Can WAMC become a force for journalism in New York? https://t.co/1aUhw8eSWZ
Last year, NYC invested $10 million in #PromiseNYC to provide care for hundreds of undocumented children. This morning, dozens of elected officials wrote to the Mayor demanding he double that investment so all undocumented children have access to early childhood programs! Read 👇
The hand-wringing by police and prosecutors over bringing charges against the chokehold subway killer of Jordan Neely is…let’s just say, in glaring contrast to their usual arrest and charge reflexes.
We need to stop dragging your feet and the city & county need to authorize the funding to do an implementation study for a public utility. This does not mean that the city will run an energy company but that we will appoint a board of energy professionals accountable to us. #RED
"Neely would sometimes share money he made dancing to help other kids buy food or get a hair cut."
“Advocates who worked with Neely also described him positively, and said he was simply a person in acute need."

Every day we learn more about how corrupt this far-right Supreme Court is.
We must pass a code of ethics.
We must #ExpandTheCourt.
And Clarence Thomas must resign.
Brooklyn Methodist @nynurses deserve respect and a fair contract that protects nurses, patients, and our communities. We stand in solidarity with them as they walk the info picket line today. #FairContractNow
“In refusing to condemn this killing, the Mayor and Governor are fueling the dehumanization of Black life, the dehumanization of unhoused New Yorkers, and the dehumanization of those with mental health needs.” - @MauriceWFP
