Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

Building a system to support youth apprenticeship: you can go slow to go fast. Understand what your young people and your employers need first, then build from there. Jonathan Payne, @jfftweets #PAYA #YAinAction

What’s happening today? We’re witnessing the excitement, enthusiasm, and thrill of how much success #apprenticeship has for high school & college-aged youth.

@tridenttech bets they’re the best there is at this, and they’re here to inspire more from across the US! #YAinAction

[Andrea Messing-Mathie @anmessingmathie]

So glad to be with this dedicated group of partners growing youth apprenticeships around the country #YAinAction

I've always had a strong personal & professional connection to DC - and have stood on the Capitol lawn to witness many inaugurations - across party lines. Peaceful transitions of power are a cornerstone of our being as Americans, its time to come together to fortify our democracy

@CarlosLozadaWP I think a little bit of both, sadly.

[Andrea Messing-Mathie @anmessingmathie]

So glad...but too late.

Breaking News: Twitter locked the account of President Trump on Wednesday, after a day of violence in the U.S. capital and a string of inaccurate and inflammatory posts from the president. The move was an unprecedented rebuke of Trump by the platform.

From the mouths of our kids. How right they are...and what a statement about our nation and the healing we have to do that this is true.

I don’t want to hear “both sides are the same” ever again.

This could have been stopped a long time ago @SenateGOP . You helped create what we are seeing now. End this.

[Senate Republicans @SenateGOP]

This is not who we are.

This is not what we fight for.

This is not American.

This must stop.

Now.

[Andrea Messing-Mathie @anmessingmathie]

These are criminals. These people need to be arrested and tried.

BREAKING. Mob of Trump supporters swarm the media near the US Capitol. They yell what Trump frequently says, “the media is the enemy of the people.” They destroy equipment and chased out reporters. I’ve never seen anything like this in my 20 year career: @nbcwashington @MSNBC
