The #SayHerName campaign was founded 10 years ago to break the silence around Black women, girls & femmes whose lives have been taken by police. Tanisha Anderson, Korryn Gaines, Shelly Frey, Kayla Moore & Atatiana Jefferson are just some of the many names we uplift.

That part! 👇🏽

Anti-DEI laws are trying to silence underrepresented voices thefulcrum.us/inclusion-dive…

A forceful denunciation of #SB 17 and its implementation UT Austin by alumni of the now-banned Op-Ed project. Glad they are still writing, angry that their numbers will not increase.

I cowrote this OpEd with a few Fellows. Our “official” Fellowship with The OpEd Project was abruptly ended. We still writing y’all! #AntiRacistEd

So much education leadership energy going into managing parent groups that are hostile to antiracism. What would happen if similar energy went into truly collaborating with, mobilizing, and building solidarity with parent groups that are demanding antiracism?

Due to Texas law #SB17 which requires publicly-funded universities to close their diversity, equity and inclusion offices and initiatives, our 9th year of #PublicVoices fellowship with UT Austin is slated to end effective Jan 1, 2024. A huge loss for us, and for public knowledge.

Thanks Annette for this thread 👇🏽We will no longer have coaching. But know, the writing will go on! The OpEd Project UT Austin #PublicVoices Fellows program abruptly ends 12/31 #SB17 #AntiRacistEd

“What bothers me about book banning the most is the message it sends. It tells young people, ‘Your life makes me uncomfortable. Nobody should hear about it. You should be silent.’”— Angie Thomas #BannedBooksWeek americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2023/05/01/new…

Restorative Practices start with a relationship, otherwise there is nothing to restore. Take a listen to a few perspectives #AntiRacistEd #EdChat

My The OpEd Project colleague’s take on the future of AI frenemies shares: “These AIs will be able to use pictures and words newly created for you personally to soothe, amuse and agitate your brain’s reward and stress systems.” 🤯Reminds me of Zaretta Hammond ‘s work #AntiRacistEd

I’m honored to be a #PublicVoices Fellow of The OpEd Project and UT Austin. This is how we change who writes history. #AntiRacistEd College of Education
