I'm an educator, a student, a mom, a partner, and I'm learning to become an activist. I care about children, communities and destroying oppressive structures.

In the train stations here in Kyiv, children first, women second, white men third, then the remaining is occupied by Africans. This means that we have waited for many hours for trains here & couldn’t enter because of this.

Majority of Africans are still waiting to get to Lviv.

Because we were limited in the number of young people who we could accommodate in #AYONYC2021, we decided to create a mini-institute on July 15-16 open to any interested young people ages 16-25. Registration is open & free: https://t.co/t5dR0hoPqo - share widely.

The US is finally sending aid to India, but we need to do more: export our unused vaccines and waive IP restrictions so the whole world can get vaccinated. It’s the only way to end this pandemic. Please call your reps!

Part of the "plan" was additional custodians to cover the extra cleaning that was to happen. Our school was told a week or 2 before 2/1 that we would be getting no additional custodians. Unfortunately, this is part of a larger pattern of not following through.

Q5. It is not secret that for generations, Chicago Public Schools has *not* enjoyed the trust of the youth, parents and families. How has CPS earned/lost trust in your household amid COVID-19 health pandemic?

Turning facts around and quoting data as if that should make parents feel better about sending their precious children (not numbers) into schools.

Q1: In a recent NYT interview, Chicago's mayor stated she plans to rebuild trust with CPS parents & caregivers. How can she do just that?
