Wise words from @BarrFdn president @JCanales:
1) foster authentic relationships w/ leaders & orgs closest to the challenges we aim to address
2) work in partnership w/ others given the immense challenges before us
3) seize this opportunity to eliminate obstacles to racial justice

Because of the #COVID19 pandemic, philanthropy finds itself with a critical opportunity to act in new ways, writes @BarrFdn president and trustee @jcanales. trib.al/2jhiPih

Hoy tuve la oportunidad de conocer a estudiantes de la @hernandezK8sch durante una visita con @SecCardona @ewarren @MayorWu y @BCassellius . Mi parte favorita fue cuando un estudiante, Miguel, se presentó a Sec. Miguel Cardona. Representation matters. #bilingualed @BostonSchools
Today we welcomed @SecCardona to @hernandezK8sch & introduced him to some of our @BostonSchools community!
Ready to continue our partnership to further invest in bilingual education, mental health resources & schools that are deeply connected to every family.
ALT Michelle and Sec. Cardona sit in folding chairs and lean in for a conversation.
ALT Michelle, MA state leaders, and school staff sit in a circle inside a school gymnasium with a colorful mural depicting students in the background.

The press conference keeps touching on high statewide vax rates for kids. It's worth noting though that there are vastly, and I mean vastly different vaccination rates for children between Massachusetts cities and towns. bostonglobe.com/2022/01/07/o…
