As educators nationwide continue to navigate the ongoing challenges of teaching during an unprecedented time, we know peer support is crucial. Furthermore, we've seen many educators contemplate how to incorporate a racial justice lens with their students to foster a more inclusive and equitable environment. We've gathered some information below to help educators find and build community, discover anti-racism resources, and learn about other tools to support them and their learning communities.

I very much hesitate to say anything about the elephant in the room regarding open source. The one thing I do think I can say without question is that anyone who characterizes reproducibly rebuilding an operating system from the provided source code as a trivial task of "hobbyists" grossly underestimates the amount of time, attention, effort and agility needed by any software distribution's infrastructure team to successfully produce a pile of bits that actually boots and runs on modern hardware.

Madam Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, so eloquently penned what many of us are acutely aware of in her dissent today. She reminds us of how this decision is deeply reflective of the racist ignorance that is pervasive in our country - still. Thank you Justice, for stating the obvious - and for reminding the country of your own lived experiences. "Our country has never been so colorblind," Jackson wrote. "Given the lengthy history of state-sponsored, race-based preferences in America, to say that anyone is now victimized if a college considers whether that legacy of discrimination has unequally advantaged its applicants fails to acknowledge the well-documented 'intergenerational transmission of inequality' that still plagues our citizenry." "With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces 'colorblindness for all' by legal fiat," she wrote. "But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life. And having so detached itself from this country's actual past and present experiences, the Court has now been lured into interfering with the crucial work that UNC and other institutions of higher learning are doing to solve America's real-world problems." - Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ✊🏽

Todays news, regarding the Supreme Court overturning affirmative action was truly heartbreaking. I think about how within the past year, I consistently wanted to see more people like me in my STEM courses at NYU. As we move forward, I can only hope that colleges and universities expand their financial aid, in attempt to maintain, or more-so expand, their ethnic and racial diversity. My desire of diversifying tech and higher education is one that I have had since childhood. I thank the Last Mile Education Fund for giving me the opportunity to share my story in tech, as a low-income, first-generation college student (and now graduate), across multiple platforms and audiences. Joining CEO of Last Mile, Ruthe Farmer, as a guest speaker for ServiceNow, specifically their Women in Technology June Webinar was an empowering experience. Despite feeling inevitably nervous about public speaking, I was instantly relieved when I joined the zoom call and saw all women, especially women of color. Meeting powerful women like Estella Gong and Twisha Shah reminded me of how much representation matters. It is small moments like these that make a world of a difference and remind me how vital it is to cultivate safe spaces for underrepresented minorities in education and tech. Last week, I joined an incredible team at Blackstone in competing for the Blackstone Gives Back Challenge-a grant that would go to Last Mile, a fund designed for low-income underrepresented minorities pursuing degrees in tech and engineering. Shoutout to this incredible team, Eddie Mamedov, Rachel Tamarkin, Blair Legere, Aaron Weymouth, John Gibbons, and Avinash Kharche for fighting for students like me. All I hope is that someone hears my story and feels safe enough to tell, or redefine, their own, despite their background. Here's to asking for a seat at that table where we feel like we don't belong -our absence is the pressing reality yelling at us that we are needed!

We are robbing from the most vulnerable. These budget cuts will disproportionately affect moms. The families that Wu Yee serves depend on the income of working moms who need access to affordable childcare.

"Mayor London Breed plans to close a $780 million two-year budget deficit by redirecting about $30 million from early child care funding to cover other spending, including food security programs." - SF Examiner Wu Yee Children's Services has been a grassroots organization since it's beginning - which means that we do the advocacy work on the ground level. This June, we've been busy attending rallies and public comment at San Francisco's City Hall to protect our child care budget from becoming the stop gap solution to the city's budget shortfalls. We've been featured in the SF Standard and SF Examiner: "Tsiropoulos qualified for Wu Yee Children's Services, a nonprofit child care service throughout the city, after the income qualifications expanded for subsidized care, helping families like hers in the middle zone. Because of that, she was able to return to work at Pacific Primary four months ago..." - SF Examiner "The way to keep business in San Francisco is to prevent homelessness, prevent crime, prevent poverty, by helping our children to succeed and helping them to continue on so that we can have a strong workforce," Virginia Cheung, of Wu Yee Children's Services, told supervisors this week. - SF Standard We do the work that helps moms and dads across the city go to work to provide for their families and build a better future for themselves and their children. Remember, you can support our work through individual and corporate donations that help protect the futures of hardworking families in SF. #business #work #future #security #funding #nonprofit

60% of Gen Z say they'd rather lose their right to vote than give up TikTok & only 16% say they're proud to be American. The absence of national pride is a serious threat to our future - we need to teach kids to be proud of our country, not ashamed of it.
