Agency is precious because the lucidities that purposeful work and responsibility bring are the real education. The secret of the world is that it is a very malleable place, we must be sure that people learn this, and never forget the order: Learning is the consequence of doing.

Researching physical learning environments & found it interesting that lighting ☀️ has the highest correlation with overall student progress. "The highest quantity of natural and electrical light, but without direct sunlight, was found to be optimum."

Much of what will happen in 2022 will depend on us. We can be more loving, humane, globally-concerned, locally-engaged humans. Let’s not let each other down.

Blown away by what kids are creating in our first Pursuit. Conor (12) and his team selected an exoplanet to build a base on, pitched investors to raise $$ for the mission, and built a model in Minecraft to create a video ad.🔥 Next cohort starts Oct 4th: withprimer.com/galactic-expl…

To celebrate this Labor Day legislators are going to tweet their thanks to American workers while also stripping them of the pandemic UI programs that are still keeping millions alive. We don't need your thanks; we need you to do your jobs. #ExtendPUA #ExtendUI #FixUI #LaborDay

Even people who have been completely unemployed during the pandemic never stopped working. They took care of families, constantly searched & applied for jobs, pursued new training, and/or just struggled daily to navigate the UI system/social support. No vacations were had.

The pandemic is NOT OVER. Millions of people are still out of work. Unemployed workers need continued relief. That includes: 📢All UI programs extended past Sept + additional claim weeks 📢UI/PUA/PUC tax cancelled 📢A tax credit to compensate for the 5 month lapse in FPUC

Yes, we should use this opportunity to reform UI. But to do so, we will need to motivate workers to reach out to their legislators. The only way to do that is to give workers a voice in these conversations & make sure the policy proposals speak to & for us. #SocialSafetyNet

What relief do you need to see in the next bill? What holes still need to be filled? Are you: worried about the 9/6 federal UI cut off? relying on other programs with end dates? How are your current financial & potential employment situations? Tell us here⬇️ or on our story form.
