What a great movement by students. Being a First-Gen Student is scary, intimidating, and leaves a lot of room for uncertainty. Thoughts of "Am I doing this right?" or "Do I even belong here with these smart people?" echo daily throughout ones collegiate experience. I hope that state legislators and policy makers are not just moved by the stories of the student advocates...but are also moved to action because of the student advocates! #FirstGenProud #LearningForEveryone #AccessToHigherEducation #FirstGen #RemoveBarriers
Shout out to students from #FirstScholarsNetwork institutions Washburn University, Kansas State University, and the University of Kansas. Today, they'll host the inaugural State of Kansas F1rst-Generation College Student Advocacy Day! Led by students, for students, the goals include advocating for policies supporting #firstgen and driving actionable steps to enhance educational opportunities.

🌟 OCJ's inaugural policy cohort, composed of most community organizations that received 2022 grant funding, took flight this past year.🌟 During this time, we have collaborated hand-in-hand with cohort members, navigating the policy and advocacy space in Oregon. This summer, we hit pause to reflect on our shared journey and map out our collective path forward in championing Oregon consumers. 🤝 🌐 Speed of Trust: We believe in slowing down to move forward with trust. By prioritizing community, listening, and exploring how consumer issues affect Oregonians, we're building a foundation for long-term change. 🤲🤝 The Power of Together: Our policy cohort shared invaluable insights, hailing the cohort experience for its nurturing learning environment, advocacy support, and relationship building. 🌟📚 Their words underscore the power of collaborative efforts. #OCJ #PolicyCohort

📣Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Champion | 🏆Award-Winning DEI Consultant | 🧨Empowering Teams | 💅🏾Woman-Owned Business
I need to thank Jamil Zaki for sharing his book The War for Kindness with the world. It inspired me to spend more time thinking about (and talking about) how empathetic leadership contributes to the success of DEI advocacy in workplaces. 😌🙏🏾 If your #dei strategy: ✔️ is tough to communicate ✔️ is absent of executive leadership's support, and/or ✔️ has completely stalled - Please reach out to learn how I can help. There's no magic wand🪄. ALL advocacy requires ongoing effort, and those in positions of leadership should be the most assertive in championing DEI in the workplace. If you need support, reach out. I'm here to help. #keepgoing #diversityequityinclusion #dei #advocacy #leadership

After decades of expert-driven, top-down education advocacy, a more grassroots approach to change is resurgent. Growing numbers of advocates are taking a community organizing approach to their campaign, and getting results. In our latest Advocacy Labs report, a joint venture with 50CAN, we offer a lens on the rich history of community organizing over the last century, from labor to faith-based to civil rights to the approach made famous by Saul Alinsky in Chicago. Researched and written by Marc Porter Magee, a sociologist and executive director of 50CAN, this report bridges robust research with actionable advice for applying an organizer’s mindset to advocacy campaigns.
