Words to shape one's life, from Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard: “If you can, as much as possible, cultivate that quality of human warmth, wanting genuinely for other people to be happy; that’s the best way to fulfill your own happiness.” https://t.co/2F6rwLB3NZ

Kamala Harris has strengthened my feeling that she has the qualities we need right now -- let's work harder to keep her front and center of our expectations, hopes, and actions! Kamala Harris Takes on a Forceful New Role in the 2024 Campaign https://t.co/0F1wdJPkNy

This Is the Music America Needs https://t.co/jRXyWfA20e Great article, intriguing vision; see "Inspired to Action: How Young Changemakers Can Shape Their Communities and the World," about using music to bring people together and inspire them to action!

This is a brilliant, clear, concise, and completely on-target condemnation of the Republican Congressional gambit strangling this country.

MAGA extremists would rather shut down the government than help everyday Americans.

[Jean Rawitt @JeanRawitt]

So great to see this! The impact that young activists can have is enormous -- go for it!

🤩 Here’s a group of young people dedicating their summer to helping others and making a difference!

Whilst in NYC, I popped by the @YVoteNY Summer ChangeMakers Institute to meet with inspiring young people & see their youth-led programme in action. Super impressive! 🇺🇸

[Jean Rawitt @JeanRawitt]

Kudos to VP Harris for expressing the outrage so passionately!

[Heather Booth @hboothgo]

We share the outrage.

An impassioned, articulate, and concise expression by a parent of the need -- and right -- for her childrens' education to be free from religious and political interference. Take a few moments to listen!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨🚨🚨Holy shit: A mom stood up at her school board meeting and delivered an AMAZING speech expressing frustration that conservative extremists were interfering with her child’s education.

Adrienne Martin of Granbury, Texas, boldly confronted the school board and held nothing back:

Here is what Adrienne Martin told her school board: 👇

"I do not want random people with no education background or experience determining what books my child can read, what curriculum they learn, and what clubs they can join. 
Just because you can get up at every meeting and rant and rave does not give you authority over my child's education. 

Your personal religious beliefs- people in this room and on this board- should not be affecting my child's education either. Our schools are not to be used for personal political agendas.

And our children are here for education, not religious indoctrination.  

I implore the board to put an end to trying to appease these extremists. Focus on retaining staff, providing excellent public education, and a safe and welcoming learning space for all students. 

The speakers speaking about what great Christians they are... Great! Go tell your pastor. Our schools are not your church. 

Thank you." 

🔥🔥🔥

Thank you to this BRAVE mom for speaking out!

Long may she continue to be a beacon of hope and determination for young activists and would-be changemakers!

Today we celebrate the courage and leadership Malala Yousafzai on #InternationalMalalaDay, first marked on her 16th birthday in 2013 when she made her first speech at the @UN.

See how you can support our work to make education equity a reality for all: https://t.co/XrEgCeW6QM

[Jean Rawitt @JeanRawitt]

Malala continues to be a beacon of hope and determination for all young activists and would-be-changemakers -- what an extraordinary young woman.

[Melinda French Gates @melindagates]

Happy 26th birthday, @Malala! The courageous way you’ve used your voice to fight for girls' access to education has shown other girls and women how they can use theirs, too—and the world is infinitely better for it. I hope this next year brings you everything you’re looking for✨

The good: @POTUS has moved to restore some of the endangered species regulations that the Trump administration eliminated.

The bad: The proposed revisions leave harmful regulations in place. We need to fully restore the Endangered Species Act. https://t.co/s2EInPCP7y

Take note -- sad and powerful story, and a lesson every woman should heed -- as should every man who cares about women.

Reproductive freedom isn’t just a talking point to me.

After getting married, I had a miscarriage, requiring medical intervention.

This is my reproductive rights story.
