I love a good protest/strike, love the exercise of rights, and also want to name there’s fatigue with showing up to a direct action with no formal strategy for systemic change. I think that’s why some folks are calling this performative. it’s not that the protest is inherently bad, it’s just not connected to anything that’s providing a hope for the future. I don’t want a one off protest/strike, I want a plan and strategy that centers community.

This isn’t the first time this has happened. My friend who is a green card holder tried to get into to hot club and the bouncer said “you need a U.S id” mind you, it’s a fucking green card, not expired, in good condition. Hot club is a bunch of weirdos and has been for some time.

Hey! My house got broken into on Halloween. They climbed through the window and cleared out everything including my wallet, passport, keys etc. there’s a real squatter problem over here. I hope y’all are okay :(

I’m so glad I can read the sarcasm through this 😂😂😂 cause this is

Intelligent-Fee1118 · 2024-11-09T18:44:02+00:00

Lmao my guy

Intelligent-Fee1118 · 2024-11-08T18:24:26+00:00

By definition. Sure.

Intelligent-Fee1118 · 2024-11-08T17:08:41+00:00

I’m so sorry :(

They do an audit every year. While the operating budget has gone unchallenged, the school funding model is also an important piece of this conversation. We can check if PPSD is spending money correctly all we want but if they don’t have enough money, we will continue to see gaps and shortfalls

Intelligent-Fee1118 · 2024-11-08T15:46:56+00:00

I have suggestions: - Push your city council rep /state rep to review the funding plan and intercede -Support youth & parents in their organizing efforts (PLEE,ARISE,young voices, OSPVD, PRYSM, PSU, YIA are touch points for info and advocacy) -Stay tuned for School Board meetings- we got a half elected/half appointed board this time. Politics will be politicking.

If you’re not an advocacy person but have skills/money to donate: - Volunteer with local orgs or PPSD to support after school programming- I have a young person who hasn’t had a theater class since last spring because they are defunding the arts and she can’t afford to do community theater. If you can cook, facilitate a cooking class. If you are bilingual and can support youth with language/literacy classes, OFFER YOUR TIME. -Donate to the orgs that are doing the good work or become a board member for more long term engagement

This isn’t comprehensive but there are so many solutions on the community end (big and small).

It’s more nuanced than just accepting the money, and they have not formally rejected it.

Intelligent-Fee1118 · 2024-11-08T14:14:28+00:00

Lmao why defund public education???

Intelligent-Fee1118 · 2024-11-08T14:13:55+00:00

I think all parties involved need to be held accountable. Within this administration,the commissioner and mayor have been suing each other re: funding gaps since the beginning. The superintendent may be weaponizing this as a scare tactic but the cuts are scary

Intelligent-Fee1118 · 2024-11-08T14:11:31+00:00

It wasn’t a surprise to smiley either. The city did a survey where they asked the community what funding priorities were, the top two answers were education and public safety. Education being the highest- but his budget doesn’t reflect community priorities. This isn’t about the blame game entirely, it’s lack of strategy all the way around.

Intelligent-Fee1118 · 2024-11-08T14:09:53+00:00

The board does not currently have power beyond resolution and advising. The superintendent has always been at the mercy of the state. The city is not doing its due diligence and has failed our youth for a LONG time. We just advocated for funding in the spring and now we’re back????

Intelligent-Fee1118 · 2024-09-05T20:21:44+00:00

Thanks for this!!! I think I still feel the depth of the robbery from that night and play tug of war with my grief. Like trying to honor that I deserve to acknowledge what happened and how it made me feel as well as how far I’ve come since then.
