Repost from @babygucci_626 using @RepostRegramApp - So this was part of Twinkle's summer. I tried to sign her up for Step, but she crossed her name out and signed herself up for Rap and Poetry instead. Shout out to Mr. G and also @sunwhoalove for being amazing male role models for her. Having her in a CDF Freedom School really improves her confidence and I'm here for it. @Regrann from @sunwhoalove - Young Kings & Queens OutChere!!! #Bars‼️ Watch the whole video on YouTube now. #FlyWings #AltadenaFreedomSchool #cdffreedomschools #Altadena #Pasadena #SuNWhoa #HIPHOP #Read #BooksBUILDdreams #buildalegacy @becauseofthem #freedomschool #marianwrightedelman - #regrann #LinkInBio for full video

In honor of #WomensMarch, I honor #MarianWrightEdelman as well. Like Hillary Clinton, she is one of #America’s great women leaders for our women and children.

Repost by @kercena_a_dozier: As women are oftentimes mothers, mother-like figures and/or mentors to children all across #America, you cannot think about #WomenRights without thinking about #MarianWrightEdelman, #America’s great child advocate and president of @childdefender1973. @hillaryclinton’s first speech, after her concession speech, was @childdefender1973’s Washington, DC #BeatTheOdds gala. On #WomensMarch day, I honor these two women and their contributions to women and #ChildAdvocacy, because #policy connected to #activism transforms society, reduces #poverty, and creates opportunity and access for the marginalized and oppressed. #ThankYouMarian for #CHIP #HeadStart #SNAP #AffordableChildCare #Jobs #LivingWages #HousingSubsidies #EndChildPoverty #CDFFreedomSchools #EndSchoolToPrisonPipeline #EarnedIncomeTaxCredit #ChildTaxCredit #ChildCareSubsidies #HealthCare #PoorPeoplesCampaign

Repost from @hillaryclinton - “I often quote Marian when she says that service is the rent we pay for living. Well, you don’t get to stop paying rent just because things don’t go your way. I know many of you are deeply disappointed about the results of the election. I am too, more than I can ever express. But as I said last week, our campaign was never about one person or even one election. It was about the country we love and about building an America that is hopeful, inclusive, and bighearted.” —Hillary with Children’s Defense Fund founder Marian Wright Edelman

In recognition of the importance of Education for Black and Brown people, our responsibility to reach back as we climb, and the spirit of servant leadership my mother and I established the Bishop John H. D. Heyward Memorial Scholarship in honor of my late grandfather. This scholarship aims to promote academic excellence and intellectual curiosity amongst all learners. This summer I was privileged to teach a group of amazing scholars at the Community Builders Glassmanor Elementary Freedom School. For 6 weeks we read books, discussed socially relevant topics, engaged in social action, and empowered ourselves and our communities. These two scholars, Kaiyah and Marcus, stood out for their insightful thoughts, servant leader attitudes, and overall positivity. They are exactly the type of learners this scholarship is intended to support. #CDFFreedomSchools #CDF #TeachTheBabies #HowardAlumsGiveBack #SupportAcademicExcellence (More information on how you can join in supporting this scholarship will follow.)
