Student loan debt relief is critical to economic justice!

[Protect Borrowers @BorrowerJustice]

238 civil rights, labor, & veterans groups just submitted a powerful comment to @usedgov reaffirming the ongoing need for student debt relief. Borrowers are raising their voices too.

Working families with student debt still need & deserve debt relief! https://t.co/n4q7Nst1jB

GBPI also recognizes the impact of bus drivers in Georgia, so we advocate for more funding. Take a look at our education primer to learn more about these budget changes and how we can better serve our bus drivers. Happy Bus Driver's week! https://t.co/JSduABlmSY

[Ashley D. Young @ashley4access]

An integral part of public school day-to-day operations...Thanks to all of the bus drivers who transport students, you are appreciated!

[ATL Public Schools @apsupdate]

🚍💙 Happy Georgia Bus Driver and Monitor Appreciation Day! Today, we celebrate the incredible bus drivers and monitors who do so much more than just transport our children. They create a sense of community, offer emotional support, and help set the tone for a positive school day. Join us in showing your gratitude! Leave a heartfelt thank-you message for a driver or monitor who has made a difference in your life or your child's. We'll share these messages during a special breakfast in their honor! #ExcellenceEverywhere #AtlantaPublicSchools

To achieve racial equity--in the form of a race-conscious admissions review is necessary. Check out this piece from @GeorgetownCEW

[Georgetown CEW @GeorgetownCEW]

Data from Fall 2024 enrollments at selective colleges have not provided much clarity about how SCOTUS's ban on race-conscious college admissions has affected these schools. CEW’s team writes more for @insidehighered: https://t.co/f8JMgQNFk1

[Ashley D. Young @ashley4access]

Good things are happening!

[Ashley D. Young @ashley4access]

I love this, without education equity we are essentially saying that marginalized students aren't worthy of a quality education. Let's change this!

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

High-quality public education lifts up communities & empowers people to realize their dreams.

"Raise the Bar" is ED's call to transform P-12 education to advance educational equity & excellence.

It will feature testimony from @AissaRCanchola and @daliejimenez !

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Let us honor those we lost on September 11th by renewing our faith in one another, recommitting to national unity, and remembering who we are:

We never forget. We are never afraid. We endure. We overcome.

We are the United States of America.

[Georgia Youth Justice Coalition for Action @georgiayouthco]

The deadliest school shooting in Georgia’s history took place just five days ago. At tonight’s debate, Apalachee High School wasn’t even mentioned. Barrow County and young Georgians deserve so much better. #ChangeForChee
