"We will boldly address educational inequities head-on and hold ourselves accountable for providing equitable outcomes from pre-kindergarten through college and into adult learning." Yes, please, @teachercardona. Watching #CardonaHearing w/@EdTrust friends

Schools are central to our communities, and they are essential to our safety as well. https://t.co/FULzeAaOou

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

No tuition or fee increases.

More student aid.

Today’s proposed budget from @GavinNewsom shows CA is poised to continue meeting the moment as we respond to COVID-19 & help those most impacted. Proposed investments in small biz & workforce development, along w/no UC/CSU tuition increases, will only make our recovery stronger!

Hey #PoliSci Depts. NOW are you ready to fight for that hire/retention/promotion in Black Politics???

[California Teachers Association @WeAreCTA]

No school in a county where COVID-19 cases & transmission rates are in the Purple tier should be open for in-person instruction. Please join educators & urge Governor Newsom to not allow schools to reopen in any county in the Purple Tier. #OnlyWhenItsSafe

Our latest report reveals that Black & Latino homebuyers in CA continue to receive far fewer home purchase loans than their white counterparts.

Homeownership is critical to building wealth & financial stability, says author @RawanElhalaby. Read more here:

Remedial courses are a failed approach to supporting student success in college math, yet some colleges continue to offer them. ⁦See new report from ⁦@AccelerationCA⁩ and ⁦@publicadvocates⁩. https://t.co/7Ij6v7K2Qr

Broad student loan debt cancellation via executive order is good economics and politics. A thread (with lots of data). 1/

[Ash Kalra 🌱 @Ash_Kalra]

I graduated from law school with 6 digit debt in ‘96. I spent well over a decade paying it off. The idea that those with college debt will get their loans canceled? I’m thrilled about it! We need to root for relief for others, even if it doesn’t benefit us. Great stimulus, too!

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

Canceling student debt would literally be a relief program for our working & middle-classes. Why would anyone be against that? It’s a step in the right direction to rebuild a true middle class in America.

While we are at it, let’s make college tuition free.

"We applaud the court’s important recognition that a one-third reduction of Black students at Harvard is an unacceptable step backward that would diminish the educational experience of all students, regardless of their race or ethnicity.” --@JLee_LDF https://t.co/xnnDNbG6ZD

“California’s students will be experiencing the impact of COVID-19 for years to come.” Thanks @latimes for this important coverage: a reminder that our work continues & we must continue to identify ways to help ALL students succeed in distance learning. https://t.co/N8TtyzLZqf
