Martin Luther King, Jr., reminded us that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Change takes a long time - proud to be an actor in this vision for our future.

As my colleague @MattMortonPDX said, we can and must do more to address the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People in Oregon. Grateful for partners like @naahillaheefund who are providing support for impacted families: mmt.org/news/we-must-end-epi…

My colleagues @toyafick @BekahSabzalian @MattMortonPDX @forabetterOR are working every day for our children in Oregon. Ask yourself everyday, What have I done today to support our children? They need us today to help them charter their tomorrows.

We must do better for students of color, for all students and for a greater, more inclusive, safe and affirming community--it starts in our public schools. Thank you @toyafick

November is Native American Heritage Month- visit a native museum or cultural center in your area. Learn our history- it informs our future.

Trauma-informed practices are beginning to take hold in mainstream institutions, like public schools, but many of these efforts are not designed to include some of the most effective protective factors for Native people 1/3

For many Indigenous people, the most shocking element of the story is not the discovery of the graves but the fact that it’s taken so long for non-Natives to acknowledge the grim details of this long-ignored history.

On Juneteenth, we can remember, reflect and recognize that liberation is achievable. But it won’t come only from marking a date in the past, it will come when we make liberation our destiny. #juneteenth

Celebrating #PeaceCorpsWeek with photos of my service in Chad from '92-'94, where I taught middle school math. Those two years set my life on a different path.
The parade was celebrating #WomensDay (March 8th/8 mars, 1994) in Bébalem, Chad.
