“democratic citizenship is a political status that is gradient rather than binary.“ This notion of “semi-citizenship” by @alixabeth is a powerful frame for discussing educational trajectories of youth in immigrant, farmworking families in California https://t.co/l3NRXx8acZ

Agriculture provides migrant families a steady job...for some time. But when the season comes to an end, students are left with a gap in their education. Como Vivimos (How We Live) is now streaming: https://t.co/JTExNLJgkU

Tonight’s the night! Our documentary COMO VIVIMOS airs across the country tonight on @worldchannel and streams on PBS site and Passport app. Share with the educators, organizers, and farmworkers in your families!

For farmworkers in California, "home" comes with conditions. Watch how these migrant families uproot themselves every year to make a living on Como Vivimos (How We Live), premiering Thursday at 8/7c on @americareframed: https://t.co/JTExNLJOas #ImmigrantHeritageMonth @agg_star

Taking a break from #AB2240 updates to share mom’s hot take on the #GoldenBachelor debacle.

#AB2240 Farmworker Housing bill goes to the CA Assembly today. The bill wd allow hard-working American families to stay in their homes rather than be made to vacate & migrate yearly. Thx @AsmArambula for seeking actionable solutions 🌷watch live 9a PT https://t.co/8ssIAFiAp7

@LandaverdeYadi What a beautiful tribute! So meaningful to see Como Vivimos incorporated into this beautiful collage and its lineage of family strength and community resilience and ever-striving. Here’s to the generations which have led the way and to the generations to come! Adelante!

[Aggie Ebrahimi Bazaz @agg_star]

Thank you @LandaverdeYadi for sharing your personal story of resilience and servant leadership and thank you for being there @SXSWEDU to witness parallel journeys in the documentary Como Vivimos. Let us know if ever you wish to screen the film for your community.

[Aggie Ebrahimi Bazaz @agg_star]

@alixabeth Oh my gosh thank you for *your* work!! Your scholarship on the citizenship continuum so informed my process and I’d be honored if you felt the film or an excerpt might be valuable to share with your students!

Just viewed the doc COMO VIVIMOS @SXSWEDU and it was as superb as it was moving. An insight into the lives of migrant children trying to get education while their parents strive to live in migrant camps in California. See it! @agg_star

[Aggie Ebrahimi Bazaz @agg_star]

@DrGregMcWhorter @SXSWEDU Thank you so much for being there Dr. McWhorter! We’d love for equity-minded educational leaders like yourself to see it around the country so thank you for helping get the word out. We’ll send updates for future screenings on our IG @comovivimosfilm

[Aggie Ebrahimi Bazaz @agg_star]

Grateful to the @sxswedu team for promoting the Film Program so well! Typically at conferences, films are tucked away in the cut or planned at odd times, but here at SXSWEDU 2024, films are centrally located, integrated into the event and part of the convo. Thank you!

[Aggie Ebrahimi Bazaz @agg_star]

@tonyrosaspeaks @TeachForAmerica @VillanuevaBeard Great to see you smiling and connecting with the network, Tony!

[Aggie Ebrahimi Bazaz @agg_star]

So proud to have worked with Teach For America's The Collective to write this panel proposal for @SXSWEDU to share out the thought leadership of amazing BIPOC leaders who are innovating in culturally responsive education.

[Aggie Ebrahimi Bazaz @agg_star]

Thank you @wabenews + @jimburress for profiling the brave women who desegregated GSU! Could you link to the documentary you reference in the article? Our BIPOC team of students & faculty are proud to have produced it & we'd love for more people to see it! https://t.co/GByO5QiEZG

@hgse @tonyrosaspeaks @TeachForAmerica Thank you @hgse for sharing!

As a first-gen Filipino American, @tonyrosaspeaks, Ed.M.'18, is filling the gap in how schools teach about the Asian American diaspora.

With @TeachForAmerica, he shares hope for his son, and for all students, to find power in their identities. #OneDay

Rethinking education means rethinking: "I’m suggesting we shift from a scarcity mindset (e.g. not enough teachers...) to an abundance mindset (e.g. a robust community of support for an expanded definition of learning)"
