10 minutes in at @socinnovation #SIS2022 and first reference to #healthequity. Are we going to talk about #systemschange? Is that the new #win from the #COVID19 pandemic?

It’s happening! First in person conference! @MassService @CommonImpact #volunteering #civicengagement

"One of the ways that we change conversations for #equity is to make room for everyone to fail.

We're going to fail a lot if we try new stuff - some things are going to work and some aren't.

But that allows for #innovation and more collaborative work." - @elizabethroot

Late .... But important. And an apology matters as it is ownership of a mistake

BREAKING: Disney’s CEO announced today that the company is SUSPENDING all political donations in Florida due to the state’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, and he APOLOGIZED for the company’s previous silence on the issue. 🌈

Check out my latest article: Past Time: Building the Nonprofit Advocacy Muscle https://t.co/fxLG4kBJtV via @LinkedIn

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Covid at-home test: $25
Minimum wage: $7.25/hr

So, 3 1/2 hours of work at minimum wage to afford an at home test. That’s half a day’s earnings.

Free public testing: 2 1/2 hr wait in line

That’s $18 lost wages assuming someone can take off work to stand in line.

.@tanyamel really appreciated your article @voxdotcom on #abortion in television. There's an important show you left out @TheCW Everwood had an #abortion plotline in 2001. It was a powerful example of #faith and a commitment to #equality. If you haven't seen it - check it out
