Plastic pollution is a growing problem for wildlife across the Caribbean.

In St. Maarten, EPIC has helped recycle nearly 1.75 tons of plastic waste, keeping it out of coastal areas and away from wildlife.

Support EPIC by May 31: https://t.co/ogTORyJY8d

🌍🐦 World Migratory Bird Day

The Caribbean is a vital wintering ground and stopover for migratory birds — from Blackpoll & Cape May Warblers to Whimbrels, Red Knots, Indigo Buntings, American Redstarts, and more.

Protecting habitats protects the flyway.

On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay we celebrate migratory birds & the people helping protect them through community science & local action.
This year’s theme “Every Bird Counts–Your Observations Matter” echoes the spirit of #IDB: acting locally for global impact

@angrydclobbyst @DCPoliceDept We understand the concerns. The walk is planned to minimize disruption and is based on nonviolent practices. For educators and students, it serves as experiential learning about peace, reflection, and global citizenship—something meant to be experienced, not just posted online.

[Clase de Sra. Obando (She/her) @iobando]

@SocraticSand @DCPoliceDept We recognize different perspectives. In a global classroom context, the walk functions as experiential learning — a way to engage with peace, mindfulness, and nonviolent traditions beyond theory.

[Audubon Society @audubonsociety]

For over a century, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act has provided the foundation for our country’s bird conservation efforts. Take action to safeguard the MBTA for the future—Urge Congress to support the Migratory Bird Protection Act: https://t.co/ejgfH5GDQL

[World Migratory Bird Day @WMBD]

World Migratory Bird Day reminds us: birds need safe spaces in our cities. By creating bird-friendly cities and communities, we can help protect biodiversity and the ecosystems that sustain us. 🌍💚

A land where all belong,
Where liberty is shared,
And where voices rise not in uniformity, but in harmony.
This photo was taken in Uruguay, where I recently served as a Fulbright Teacher — a reminder that the ideals we cherish have no borders, only bridges.

@ODU Congratulations!!!🎉🎈🎊

7/ This journey has been truly transformative. ¡Gracias, Uruguay! Thank you, Fulbright, for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 💙🇺🇾🇺🇸 #FromUruguayWithLove #GratefulEducator

1/ June 23–25 marked the end of an unforgettable Fulbright journey in Uruguay. Each group—Salto, Rivera, Minas & Maldonado—shared moving presentations about their time with local teachers & students. #FulbrightTGC #GlobalClassrooms

6/ On June 25, we flew through Brazil and made our way home—to Atlanta, then Virginia—filled with memories, inspiration, and a deeper sense of global community. #TeacherExchange #FulbrightUruguay

[Clase de Sra. Obando (She/her) @iobando]

2/ After 20 days together, it was time to say goodbye. Teachers headed back to states across the U.S.—some as far as Hawaii! I didn’t just learn about Uruguay—I learned about every state represented in our cohort. #CulturalExchange
