So thrilled about this. I still believe there is no greater investment in our communities and society than building leaders committed to equity and justice. Congratulations @uzetaj & the @PublicAllies team for your vision and hard work
This week’s assault on our democracy—and flagrant display of white supremacy—was tragic and dismaying, yet sadly unsurprising in a country founded on (and still unwilling to truly reckon with) the genocide of one people and the enslavement of another.

Thrilled to make #GivingTuesday2020 gift to @PublicAllies. Since it brought me and @jasonascott together, it's on my forever list for all good things. And the 8000+ alumni demonstrate what diversity in leadership looks like everyday. https://t.co/6H9VdhukxM
Hey leaders: This is your daily reminder that diversity, belonging and a thriving, innovative company culture cannot be built on old power models of hierarchy, competition, domination, tyranny and backstabbing. This is true regardless of industry.
"When it comes to the 2020 election, these persistent inequities are *exactly* why we need all we can to counter a justified cynicism and desire to tune elections out." —Jaime Ernesto Uzeta, CEO of Public Allies

Big news from the House!
Expanding national service has broad bipartisan support because we know that #NationalServiceWorks. That’s why we’ve been working to include the #CORPSAct in the next relief package.
This is an important step forward.
Thanks to @Citi Foundation for stepping up to support our Allies who are working to fill the cracks laid bare by the pandemic and redesigning the systems that created those cracks in the first place.

Jaime Ernesto Uzeta, CEO of Public Allies:
"Racism continues to ravage our society and the systems that sustain it. The senseless and tragic shooting of Jacob Blake is the latest wake up call for us all.

Powerful leadership from @davidcrowleyWI, MKE County Executive & @Publicallies alumnus:
"This is about action. Systemic racism has been deeply rooted in our laws, our policies & practices...we have to invest in equity...and it’s going to take all of us to rise to the occasion."
“I understand why there’s so much urgency, because we can’t continue to see this. This is traumatic. We are witnessing this... as people of color... we have to do something,” says Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley about public reaction after Jacob Blake’s shooting.
“Having Public Allies on your resume is a big deal. It shows that you know about community," says Aurora Douglas, brand new graduate of Public Allies New York.
