I'm excited about the coming school year. Taking the time to really listen, to really get to know each other, moving beyond the roles we play to the salient parts of who we are as human beings is central to our work because it is central to yours. #nced https://t.co/MsydcocrHr
The @LAUSD budget must prioritize getting investments to students to help their academic recovery and strengthen their mental health and social-emotional well-being. We call on the Board to pass a budget that ensures that students who are struggling receive the support they need.
This @brownblaze. Retweeting this affirmation to not only reach @OurTurnNatl ‘s base of students fighting for mental health supports in schools, but also sending love to #BIPOC GA voters 🍑. Take care. Breathe. Keep fighting the good fight. #gapol#SB202
States across the country from AZ to CO are finally prioritising mental health, so @usedgov can we do this on a national scale and make it happen? It's way past time. https://t.co/oE3z8AHFp0

@SecCardona Thanks for affirming the resilience of students. Over the past year, @OurTurnNatl youth organized for pro-student policies, from scaling mental health supports to decolonizing curriculum. We would be honored to share the #StudentAgenda for #Equity with the Summit and your team.
@SecCardona We appreciate your recognition of our "resilience;" however, we NEED your recognition for the work we are doing to improve our chances to achieve equity across all levels of the education system. We need your voice. https://t.co/rxow74pG8I
"As women of color, people of color, students of color, having knowledge of who your ancestors were is all the power you need within you." - Blanca of @OurTurnCA#RaiseYourHand@edjusticeforall
Now diving into art as a tool for expression and healing! We're unpacking how to use our voices individually, and as a collective, for good. Discussion question: What does YOUR voice currently look like?! #RaiseYourHand@edjusticeforall
When I think of power, I think of the power of vulnerability. To feel the discomfort and do it anyways. To set aside your expectations and explore. Power is knowing-whatever happens, you will go above your nerve and survive. ~ Gabriella #studentvoice#RaiseYourHand#townhall
Expressing ourselves can be a challenging experience but none the less our experiences are needed to understand our needs as a collective as well as recognizing the shift and change we can bring about just by sharing our stories, experiences and much more~Salma #RaiseYourHand
