What a gorgeous, scrumptious, and nourishing evening!! The birthday boy savored čišnay ‘at mamakwa tiwwiš tawwa sii and everything that followed. The @makamham team was gracious and welcoming. It is hard to find the words to describe how special this was. Thank you.

[Sonya Heisters @SonyaHeisters]

On this #IndigenousPeoplesDay I loved learning more about the #Ohlone people w/my 2nd grader through this @exploratorium talk by the good people of @makamham. My son’s greatest hope for his 8th B-day is now to eat at the #Ohlone cafe. https://t.co/YLUEpM1RAP #BayAreaParenting 🌰

Yup. I think this shade of #blue looks good on me. #vote

Yes! Excited to dig in. Tom and Sean have done us a real service here. Any thoughts on limitations to keep in mind as we read? (there's always something...)

[Sonya Heisters @SonyaHeisters]

@gudiel Yes!! Your leadership on this, @gudiel, is so important. Thank you.

Great analysis on the latest #NAEP scores via @NYTimes. Oof. We’ve got work to do. https://t.co/lKDOUcnsMr

During Children’s Environmental Health Month, we are raising awareness about the severe lifelong damage caused by exposure to toxic lead.

The health and safety of our kids should be a given! But it’s not. We must fight for it.

Good people of #California - hear directly from your #political candidates about how they plan to address the needs of #children and #youth. Awesome resource from @ChildrenNow. #ProKid

We've published the verbatim responses to our 2022 State Legislative Candidate Questionnaire.

This questionnaire, which covered a broad range of issues that impact kids, was sent to each candidate running for a State Assembly or Senate seat ▶ https://t.co/PJksRD3udU

@mlussiergan Terrifying and unacceptable.

[Sonya Heisters @SonyaHeisters]

@makamham @exploratorium It is an honor to have the invitation and opportunity. We have the next reservation opening on our family calendar and can’t wait! Thank you for preserving Ohlone food and language and for sharing it with others.

Backpack with a 3-year-old. ✅ Check! (Not that any reasonable person would have this on their bucket list). Miraculously and to my earnest surprise, it was awesome.
