Dear White Women,
We only have 41 days left to win
41 days to get comfortable with having uncomfortable conversations because you are the most effective messenger with white women you know
Watch “How to be a messenger” ➡️ live.kamalaharris.com/women/…
You are the margin of error

The Supreme Court ended affirmative action. The *how* of it is not very interesting: They killed it because they could.
But why? Well, because affirmative action was the only policy where the whiteness card got revoked.

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action
Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed
The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

It’s a new day at @bostonfdn! The Foundation recently renewed its focus and commitment on equity and was seeking a message, identity and image that was just as bold. Today, we’re proud to unveil that brand.

#MemorialDay began as a bold defiance of white supremacy and tribute to Union soldiers. The fact that most don’t know that is because the Confederacy won the Memory War. This is why we must fight for our shared history and the #freedomtoread today. portside.org/2023-05-29/firs…

Great conversation
about how non-degree credentials can be pathways to #goodjobs and degrees, but we don’t communicate those opportunities clearly to students. Community colleges can be massive connectors to “fast forward” credentials. #NSCSummit2023
