The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested a Black mother outside her child’s school after an officer confronted her about leaving her car illegally parked and unattended. This level of force on an unarmed woman in a school pick-up line is outrageous!

A lot of good points in here:

It's an especially meaningful honor when a leader is recognized based entirely on feedback from employees. Congratulations to @ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO @JonasPrising who was just named one of @Glassdoor's Top CEOs for 2021. #leadership #employeevoice https://t.co/Kzl4Qbysje

2U was a trusted partner when Simmons University collaborated with them in their early days- that trust magnified by this brilliant move!
