Session is heating up in Annapolis, and BSU is hitting the ground running. This week, we'll be rallying the troops for Sen. Jill P. Carter Emerita's SB 31 to expand student power on the School Board. We'll be writing testimony at BPI, WHS, and on Zoom next Saturday. Please share! 🌩️

It's been 1 yr since the VOTES Coalition put together an ad hoc campaign of Baltimoreans to fight for Sen. Jill P. Carter Emerita's then-SB 157 to expand student power on the Board of Ed. Against the odds, we passed it — but Hogan vetoed it. With Moore in, we're now back for a round 2. 🧵

One of my core beliefs is that the people who are most impacted by policy decisions are the best suited to make them. It continues to boggle my mind that we don’t allow our students a voice in their OWN education.

All my love for @ethan_k_eblg, the Baltimore Student Union, and our Baltimore City students. One year later, and I am so proud and grateful for this (ongoing) journey 💜

One of the most important & profound projects I contributed to as ASCBC President was the complete re-writing of Policy JJA (student governance), which required a new student disciplinary handbook for City Schools. Now that I'm a Board member, seeing this finally happen... 🥹

FOX Baltimore A Google search tells what students and teachers already know — the MCAP, which many students test out of, not only heavily measures students doing the least well in their math classes, but attempts to postulate a one-size fits-all model for measuring achievement. /4

I recently wrote a blog post for Education Elements about the importance of continuing to fight for educational equity, even when/ especially when the political climate makes it hard to even say those words: edelements.com/blog/advancing…

#BaltimoreTwitter, where can someone get free diapers same day? I know about the ShareBaby program and the Judy Centers, but most seem to have 1-2 distributions a month.

Read a statement from BSU co-founder & Steering Committee member @ethan_k_eblg on why we joined this effort: "we stand unequivocally for peace and an end to our government's complicity in Israel's indiscriminate bombardment of schools." The Gaza Genocide is a students' issue. /2

The Maryland CALL Act passes! This is a massive victory for student advocates from SOMOS and other organizations on behalf of immigrant and English learner students. 🦋🌻

Last week, Mayor Scott & City Council launched an anti-democratic lawsuit against the @bmoredsa-endorsed Baltimore Baby Fund ballot initiative proposing a $1,000 basic income for new parents.
