Beautiful conversation yesterday: Trisha Lee, Isla Hall & three wonderful educators (GIllian McNamee, Jane Katch, Sarah Sivright) who worked directly with Vivian Gussin Paley. Thank you @MakeBelieveArts! Will be comparing notes w/ colleagues @Teaching_Beyond@BKNorthNYCDOE
We were the only ones there. @HamdenSchools#covidvaccine clinic at Helen Street School. Word on the scene is that 40% of Hamden’s children are vaxxed, and masks in schools are coming off this Monday.
Cannot wait to read @TheAmandaGorman’s book with my kids when it comes out later this year! I look forward to listening to her powerful words for years to come and hope you will join me if you're able to in pre-ordering her book Change Sings:

When in need of evidence that mercy is real, justice is possible, redemption is attainable, listen to Bryan Stevenson of @eji_org. Beautiful conversation with Krista Tippett of @onbeing includes sweet memory re: Stevenson's friendship with Rosa Parks.
In this week’s On Being, @eji_org founder Bryan Stevenson on how to embrace what’s right and corrective, redemptive and restorative — and an insistence that each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve done. https://t.co/Lm5tGIQ9LR
Thank you, Stacey, your brilliant work has blessed GA and the nation in such a powerful way. Now we 🙏 and we work for two GA Dems to win those Senate seats. @repjohnlewis is so proud, and we feel the power of mourning turning to song. We shall overcome.

Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States.
Kamala Harris will be the next Vice President of the United States.
And a new dawn is coming.
I’m beyond thrilled that my friend @JoeBiden and our first Black and Indian-American woman Vice President, @KamalaHarris, are headed to restore some dignity, competence, and heart at the White House. Our country sorely needs it.

Articles, podcasts, interviews, analyses, processions, ceremonies, eulogies later, and while we are still in mourning for John Lewis, it's so necessary to listen to the powerful wisdom of the man himself, this 55th anniversary of the #VotingRightsAct. #GoodTrouble#RIPJohnLewis
"We all have an obligation, a mission, and a mandate to do what we can. We must speak up for those who have been left out and left behind. We cannot afford to be silent."
