Each year, 55K @AmeriCorps members support 900K+ students on the path to graduation, higher ed, careers & life. Schools rely on this people power. Take #Stand4Service & tell Congress to increase funding for #AmeriCorpsinSchools: https://t.co/m1ehdIU5Bp #BacktoSchoolwithAmeriCorps

Nearly 70% of 3rd-graders from low-income communities aren’t reading on grade level, and most are Black and Latino children, English learners, and students with disabilities. Tell your leaders we need evidence-based early literacy instruction NOW! https://t.co/LsUDTWodHr

[EdVoice @edvoice]

Only 4 in 10 children are reading on grade level by the end of 3rd grade. We urge leaders to implement the policy recommendations outlined in this brief: https://t.co/lAFPXz45eN

As we celebrate #AmeriCorps30 anniversary, Congress should expand the program, not cut it – as @AnnMaura @Voices4Service & @ryebarcott @WithHonorAction share here: https://t.co/76OJmB0Aeb. Read more and join @Voices4Service to tell Congress to invest in AmeriCorps’ future.

Why do I #Stand4Service? #BecauseofAmeriCorps, 200K @AmeriCorps & @AmeriCorpsSr members help community orgs meet the country’s most critical needs, from housing to veterans’ services to education. RT this to thank #AmeriCorps members & alumni for their impact in our community!

[Colleen Oliver @ColleenAOliver]

Every year, @AmeriCorps provides educational support to over 1M youth, helping to address their academic, emotional, social, and mental health needs inside & outside the classroom. Thanks to all the #NationalService members headed #BacktoSchoolwithAmeriCorps! #Stand4Service

I just sent an urgent message telling my U.S. senators to confirm Steve Dettelbach as the next ATF director. Join me by sending your message now >> https://t.co/F9l3juq6CD @momsdemand

I stand with parents and their right to more, not fewer quality educational options for their children. @SecCardona, #BackOff the attacks on charter schools and support all parents and students in their educational journey.

🤚🤚 #BackOff our schools, @SecCardona @POTUS! All public schools deserve your support, including charter schools that provide families with MORE options, not less. Stop @usedgov’s overregulation of charter school growth!

[Tanya Ortiz Franklin @TanyaForLAUSD]

While @LASchools and @UTLAnow are negotiating weekly schedules, school site teams and families are trying to figure out what school looks like for the real children in front of them. School starts in 13 days. Our entire county is waiting for swift and student-centered agreement.

[Colleen Oliver @ColleenAOliver]

This a great resource. Thank you@caselorg for taking the lead on providing this!

[CASEL @caselorg]

NEW! The return to school this fall will be unlike any other. CASEL & 30+ organizations offer guidance on how #SEL can provide a foundation for reopening. Download “Reunite, Renew, Thrive: #SELRoadmap for Reopening School”: https://t.co/mAFhNYca8N

[Committee for Children @cfchildren]

Our Director of Policy and Advocacy, @jposamen spoke with @NaazModan at @EdDiveK12 about the fundamental role of #SEL this school year and our joint report with @caselorg. Read the article here. https://t.co/ymhSvyXn9o

[Colleen Oliver @ColleenAOliver]

With #COVID19 and social unrest, we must support and foster kids’ social-emotional wellness. Take time this summer to prioritize #SEL and help children navigate big feelings and other challenges. Get started with @cfchildren’s DIY SEL Summer Camp. https://t.co/ffghfZGLbR

[Colleen Oliver @ColleenAOliver]

If we want more equitable school environments, we must reform policies that disproportionately impact marginalized students. Before the 2020-2021 school year starts, advocate for #ExclusionaryDiscipline reform in your district. https://t.co/kdpZNZW6DO

[Colleen Oliver @ColleenAOliver]

And that is why @cfchildren is honoring this day by making time to reflect and learn more about #Juneteenth and its history as part of our commitment to become better allies.

[Colleen Oliver @ColleenAOliver]

Today is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It’s important that we not only recognize #Juneteenth, but acknowledge that the events of the past few weeks, and beyond, clearly show we are still a long way from achieving equality.

[Stand for Children @Stand4Children]

For many #DACA recipients, the United States is the only home they have ever known, and as law-abiding, tax-paying residents, they deserve every opportunity to continue pursuing their goals.

Thank you for standing with us to support DREAMers. https://t.co/iyeBGQh7Ks

[Colleen Oliver @ColleenAOliver]

As states navigate the pandemic, social unrest, and reopening schools, the need for #SEL to support #MentalWellness initiatives and #TraumaInformedPractices is clear. @cfchildren and @caselorg’s new report offers powerful recommendations to keep SEL top of mind this Fall.

[Committee for Children @cfchildren]

Did you know 83.8% of states across the country said SEL has increased in priority since COVID-19? Learn how states can support SEL during the pandemic and beyond in our new report with @caselorg. https://t.co/h3X729oSSs

[Colleen Oliver @ColleenAOliver]

@chiefsforchange @mcmageejr Thank you for developing a strong re-opening plan that could lead to more equitable school systems. Thanks to your Chiefs for leading the way.

[Committee for Children @cfchildren]

What role will social-emotional learning play as students transition back to the classroom this fall? Hear from @mcmageejr, CEO of @chiefsforchange, on #GrowKinderAtHome about how our country's education leaders are approaching reopening schools! https://t.co/iAD7CGKWl9
