@ChangeTheLAUSD Go ahead! Thanks for casting light on the story...

Dreaming of an Alternate Universe in which schools with declining enrollment get innovative support with stakeholder input instead of a relocation "proposal"...and a flashback to the quest to #savewrightms from 2018: @MiamiSup https://t.co/R5HlIfovjj

[Hazel Kight Witham @greenkitewrites]

LAUSD informed staff at Wright MS there will be a vote 2.8.22 to relocate them from their home of 66 years to give the space entirely to WISH charter. We need transparency, listening to stakeholders, and active support of our local public schools NOW. @MiamiSup #savewrightms

@nickmelvoin Tomorrow's a big day, LA School Board! Real change requires divesting from school police and investing in our most vulnerable students. YOU can do this!

You might hear people saying it isn't real. It is.

You might hear people saying it isn't bad. It is.

You might hear people saying it can't take you down. It can.

I survived Ebola. I fear #COVIDー19.

Do your part. Stay home. Stay safe.

And every day I'll come to work for you

@tctigercakes74 I am offering a wellness unit for my HS English students that includes listening to this: https://t.co/YCtBoQPn0W and taking the 21-day challenge Shawn Achor outlines here: https://t.co/lPmh9JXySb

And Math supports UTLA's demands. No gambling with our students, colleagues or community's health, LAUSD leadership. Let's put this fire OUT starting NOW. @AustinLASchools #CloseTheSchools https://t.co/u97q6qzZn3

“Optimism/ Idealism/Imagination/Love—these are powers.” @authorKQ, from “Who’s Got the Power,” #AWP19

[Hazel Kight Witham @greenkitewrites]

@tctigercakes74 : Teaching is really about modeling “how we share space with strangers.” Thank you for creating such an important shared space today at #AWP19.

[Hazel Kight Witham @greenkitewrites]

@olivarespoet: “All of our work is one work: the work of the poet.” Inspiration that echoes from “Who’s Got the Power” panel at #AWP19

[Hazel Kight Witham @greenkitewrites]

Macondista @XochitlJulisa reading poems with her people: one of the highlights of #AWP19.

[Hazel Kight Witham @greenkitewrites]

My writer-sister names winter weariness, craning our necks like wildflowers toward spring, and the always call, to “reach out if you need it, because we need you.”

[Hazel Kight Witham @greenkitewrites]

Hello Portland, hello twitter, hello #AWP19, hello spaces I have been circling for some time...nice to be here.
