My interview with Jerzy Shedlock Navigating A Changing Landscape: Staffer Reflects On Affirmative Action Ban discussing the impact of the affirmative action ruling. As I apply to law school this year, I will be amongst some of the first students applying without affirmative action along with many other students. #affirmativeaction #aclu #supremecourt #education #lawschool #genz
Great article Evan!
Great job Evan!
This past week I was inducted into The Andrew Goodman Foundation’s Hall of Fame for the class of 2020. So thankful for this wonderful honor and recognition. Andrew Goodman’s legacy played a pivotal role in my growth and journey as an organizer. Thank you to the Andrew Goodman Foundation! https://lnkd.in/etW4pw8D

Super excited to announce that I will be joining the Vote Flare team at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School as an associate and advocate. VoteFlare is an online system that informs voters if their voter status has changed or if they have been purged from the voter rolls. I have the honor of spreading this program through the southeastern United States and fight the laws that make it easy to purge voters, especially from marginalized communities.
Yesterday, 11 Alive News ran a story about Our Turn Atlanta’s successful initiative to create a student mental health community board and pilot it in the 2024 - 25 school year. Over this last year, my fellows and APS students have been working hard to advocate for this board at a district-wide level, and they have been successful. Thanks to the work of these civically active students, Atlanta public school students will now have the ability to dictate how mental health services are marketed and implemented in their local school system. They will also have the opportunity to do peer-to-peer mental health services because they believe that those affected should be leading the solution. During this election cycle, you’re going to see a lot of articles, news stories, and social media posts about young people not being engaged and not being involved, and when you see those things and lose hope, I recommend you read this article. https://lnkd.in/e8Xz2W3N #youth #mentalhealth #civics #schools #education
