Grabbing peaceful protesters off the streets of Portland and putting them in unmarked cars to detain them is unconscionable and terrifying. It is not de-escalation, it is not the Oregon way, and it must stop.

Ever wonder why preschool costs so much, but teachers make so little? Check out this short video! This is why we need @PreschoolForAll to provide quality care while supporting the early childhood workforce!

Let's step up!

"Funding leaders of color is a significant piece of this puzzle, because these leaders often bring strategies that intimately understand the racialized experiences of communities of color and the issues these communities face."

Almost 5 years after our investment with @AdelanteMujeres ended, we are thrilled to announce the opening of their new Early Childhood Education classrooms! Their ECE program has more than doubled in size since our partnership began in 2012. #earlylearning

Severing ties with WHO during global pandemic was obviously drawn out of Stephen Miller’s coffee can of “deflect from our white supremacy agenda” ideas.

"COVID-19 has shut down our preschool for an indefinite length of time. We now are faced with a dilemma: How do we support our youngest learners during this time?" Read one provider's story...

Structural racism has always been a pre-existing condition.
"Oregon’s Hispanic population continues to be disproportionately affected by the coronavirus, a trend reinforced by the Oregon Health Authority’s updated demographic data released Tuesday."

@Strandjunker Yes. Yes, i do

As leaders in philanthropy, we recognize the critical need to act with fierce urgency to support our nonprofit partners as well as the communities hit hardest. That's why we signed the Council on Foundations Philanthropy Commitment during COVID-19.

I am loving all the suggestions about how i deal my Gen Z neighbors (throwing parties and making light or the pandemic)! However, i cannot waste eggs or TP on these jerks! What other ideas y'all got?

[Sarah Cohen-Doherty @SarahBC82]

I desperately want to go smack my GenZ neighbors for having a party right now...but I can't because I am practicing social distancing! I need the poking stick...

@SVPPortland @PDXbookbank Those books are highly needed anyway, but so grateful our community's kiddos have them now more than ever! #keepreading

[Sarah Cohen-Doherty @SarahBC82]

My hope is that, at the end of this crisis, every parent will understand what it is....and teachers will be given the pay they deserve! Also, the #childcare and #healthcare workers, who are helping us survive
