From these videos about the Children's Marches, I was amazed by the joy and vulnerability with which the children showed up every day. When the firemen turned their hoses on them, they showed up in bathing suits.

The joy and vulnerability of the children amazed me in the face of this challenge and truly touched and inspired me.

I feel that the main shared value that I observed from The Children's March and the TFA Alabama reflections is the need for equity. I also see a group of collective advocates raising and sharing their voices for what they believe in no matter the potential consequences or push back that may occur. IT'S THE PASSION FOR ME!!

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the biggest common thread that I saw between our shared values and the Children's March and our reflections was that we all believe in the power of collective leadership. In one of my small group discussions, a CM made a really powerful point about how being a leader didn't always mean getting recognized in the history books. I think that's a very powerful point that you can see in both the Children's March and our values as an organization today. Nobody is in it to be recognized, but everyone is in it to make change.

These stories have showed us the desperation from years of racist practices and systems that have been in place and continue to carry on damaging effects. Desperation to end these cycles and dismantle them.

# data[].attributes.body
It teaches us to always choose courage and to stand up for what we believe in no matter what type of adversity we may face.

# data[].attributes.body
I really value authentic engagement with heavy issues, like DEI, educational inequity, and racial disparities as a whole. I see that Alabama's history of political engagement via action. It's about showing that we care, not just telling. Performative activism has no place here, and that is a welcome change from my current environment!

# data[].attributes.body
It is our roles as leaders to empower others to make a difference. We saw in the video today, and with many of the protests in our country surrounding school shootings the impact that kids can have when they are working to better the world around them, and it should be our job to ensure that they have a platform to speak from, and the opportunity to work for that change.

# data[].attributes.body
It teaches us how important being apart of a community that has the same values as you are and just how much you can accomplish with like minded/equally motivated people.

Children are the future. It is our responsibility to support and empower them to be the change they wish to see!

Everyone has the opportunity to make change. Us as teacher should should show our kids that they too are able to make change.

# data[].attributes.body
We face challenges collectively and are not impacted alone. Leaning into our community to fight to reach our goal is the only way to succeed and included in that community is our kiddos.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaboration is key! When we go in as a team, it's amazing what we're able to do

# data[].attributes.body
I think a big take away I had from this session is how connected we all are in this work. While all of us have a part to play, none of us does this work apart from community.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to achieve change we have to utilize and engage all members of our community. Everyone has a role and different experiences and perspectives that drive their motivations for change.

# data[].attributes.body
What these stories teach us about how we face challenges is that we must be strategic in overcoming challenges. Whether the challenge is big or small, it is important for us to understand what's going on and taking a logical approach in overcoming the challenge.

I think it reiterates that challenges are inevitable but not impossible. You can defeat your challenges in due time if you want it bad enough, and especially if it is communal.

"Love is an action word"
One of my core value is love. And thinking about how I show that action is gonna be the way I approach this school year.

# data[].attributes.body
Being Black in America automatically sets you at a disadvantage, and seeing how the Black Community and our allies have been fighting for complete equality, it is inspiring that TFA is partaking in that fight via the education aspect of it, and giving students in the Black low income areas a chance to reach their potential just like others that do not look like them or come from the same background as them.

# data[].attributes.body
A core value of mine is understanding and I think it is important that everyone has the same mutual understanding of what TFA's values are and how that relates to educational equity.

# data[].attributes.body
We both want to pursue equity through the avenues of collective kindness and relentless effort toward that one day.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that to make something happen we have to commit to the cause and fully buy into it. I think that aligns with the TFA ideas to fully commit and engage!

# data[].attributes.body
The stories teach me that we can peacefully put our points across and that people should stick together.

The dedication and compassion that there is really resonates with me because that is how I believe change can happen.

Bravery is so important! To be able to go up for your beliefs, to be able to collab with people to effect change, all of it takes courage, even when the task at hand is daunting.

Perspective

# data[].attributes.body
I think a lot of the time we can get stuck talking about a challenge we are facing because it can be scary and uncomfortable to actually face it. These stories really show the importance of being and active member of the community to see the change you want

The challenge ahead of us is not going to be within our comfort zone, while we work to dismantle it. We will have to put ourselves in uncomfortable situations, uncomfortable conversations-- to lead us to the change and vision we all have and hope to see.

We get to lead by action in and outside of classrooms!!

Shared values connects communities to work together to build equitable systems. After doing TFA reflections, it has shown me that having hard honest conversations is how we begin to build ourselves as leaders. The collective charge aspect of TFA is real and happening right now.

Watching this video and looking at the current school systems lets me know that although the Children's March made a major change, there is still work to be done to gain full equality.
