I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

As a GCIR board member, I am thrilled to share @gcirtweets 's new theory of change! This new framework will guide the org’s efforts to collectively move money & power to #immigrant & #refugee communities. Please help share this exciting news!

Check out the piece I wrote for @TheHill about the upcoming #affirmativeaction arguments before the Supreme Court. I argue that we all benefit from race-conscious college admissions, so let’s not go backward now https://t.co/ZzM8eDQnR1 #equity #highered

A village of friends and family helped @HayJasmine82’s mom as she went to college with an infant. But times changed, and even as many colleges offer child care, support can’t stop there, she says. More from @DiverseIssues: https://t.co/aUNZNftKAV

Tuition Debt Quick Take

From Lumina CEO @jamiemerisotis: Canceling college debt promotes racial justice.

"There's a big component of this that we have to underscore about the fact that racial justice and equity is addressed when it comes to canceling debt."

[Jamie Merisotis @jamiemerisotis]

Canceling debt is a start—but only a start. Making affordable #highered that helps people live better lives, improves communities & boosts the economy is a bigger challenge than the president alone can meet. @insidehighered https://t.co/2BuOli8mTk

Thanks to the Governor, Senate President, House Speaker and the entire legislature for passing a historic cradle to career budget. Proud of the $151.5 M reinvestment in higher education to support talent development in our state. Best budget in 15 years. #LaProspers @LA_Regents

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.

Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

[Juan M. Garcia @juang353]

Great to hear from @SecCardona addressing the enrollment decline in higher ed.
#ThankYou @LuminaFound for bringing us together for this meaningful discussion and call to action! #ReversingTheTrend 👍
