What does school integration in America look like today? @michellepburris & I catalogued 900+ districts & charters w/ active integration policies or legal deseg orders, enrolling 1/4 of US students. Is your district or charter one of them? Check here: https://t.co/zp39lzeWPh

“Students are having a really hard time paying attention,” said @TCFdotorg’s @Ale_VazquezBaur, “They’re afraid for themselves, or maybe they’re afraid for a parent or a sibling who could at any moment be picked up and they will never see them again.” https://t.co/mU6nsf9f8S

Join us in congratulating Bridges Collaborative member Kamar Samuels on his recent appointment as @DOEChancellor for NYC Schools!

On integration work, Chancellor Samuels has modeled how to "hear hard things being said about you...and then give people tools to stay there in the conversation."

Our loss is New York City’s gain! 🎉🫶 Congratulations to @JulieSuLabor on her new appointment.

I ran the DOL office that many of these ED programs are going to during the last administration. It's hard to describe how nonsensical what Trump is doing but I'll give it a stab

And yet another area in which Americans are struggling with rising prices is in back-to-school costs! https://t.co/c0VjSnP4CO

This week, the federal government officially shut down. And while politicians in D.C. argue over who’s to blame, families at home should know the truth: this shutdown is primarily a cost-of-living fight—namely, the cost of health care. 🧵

To understand how families are *really* feeling about the economy, we partnered with @MorningConsult to survey 2,000+ Americans on a wide-range of issues. Let’s dig into what we learned. 🧵

Trump is waging a war on working class families with reckless tariffs, illegal interference with federal programs, and cuts to healthcare, education, and food services. We asked families how they’re surviving, and what they want from government.

When you don’t have much, what you do have is precious; foster kids shouldn’t be forced the cary their belongings in trash bags between placements. S.3781 would provide them actual luggage—which is the literal least we owe our foster youth.

“This is about representation. We don’t have enough people with disabilities, and we don’t have enough young moms in the halls of power.

This is about the missing voices of millions of Americans who don’t have representation in our own government.” -@SenDuckworth

Campus child care programs can be prime settings for bringing together diverse groups of children by braiding funding. Check out our profile of Auraria Early Learning Center in CO https://t.co/65U408TGAG and more examples in the report below! @ImaginableFut

[The Century Foundation @TCFdotorg]

Early childhood education is the most racially segregated level of education. Yet, research proves diverse classrooms drive better outcomes.

Our new report with @trustfrlearning shows how 20 ECE programs are breaking barriers.
