"If you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else." --Toni Morrison, Nobel laureate, educator, former high school debater. RIP. https://t.co/2uucfVIr4S

Educators gearing up for another school year: Consider incorporating debate into your lesson plans! Plenty of ideas for how to do so in our book, Using Debate in the Classroom. #debateeducation #debate4all #debate2educate

@WUDL_Debate is one of our newest leagues and just look at this! Incredible work in the last 3 years. #urbandebate

From the @JanusInstitute Prosperous Places newsletter: Pleased to be a part of the conversation on how communication can shape the future of our communities. #debatetocommunicate #communitydevelopment #productiveconflict

Another reason to invest in #debateeducation programs for under-resourced secondary schools! New research from Harvard’s @OppInsights institute confirms that continued investment in youth, particularly from lower-income families, pays huge dividends.

"That is what debate culture is: It’s a bunch of high school kids who want to change the world in whatever way." Check out this analysis of the recent Democratic debates from high school debater Kay Rollins. #debateeducation #debateanalysis #debate4all

It's campaign season, and debate is in the news. As you watch Sen. Warren and others on the debate stage this week, think about the role debate plays in changing young people's lives. #debateforall #debateeducation https://t.co/b1qW7e5BRR

As we gear up for another election season, a thoughtful reminder that productive disagreement--instead of rushing to consensus or papering over differences—can lead us toward a more inclusive democracy. #debateforall #debate2engage

All of the debaters scored high in my book today. Happy to join @MayorCarter_ & @MNUrbanDebate for the 2nd year in a row as a judge for the Mayors’ Debate Challenge. When students dive in and let their voices be heard on important issues, we all win.
