Giving Tuesday is tomorrow. And for WFYI folk (that means you), it's also Giving News-day, Giving Views-day, Giving Moos-day and Giving Shoes-day. Why do you think public media is worth supporting? Great dramas? Trusted news? Beautiful documentaries? Wonderful kid shows? However you celebrate, one great way to support public media is by becoming a sustaining member at wfyi.org/give!

Back when I (Sam) was running the Armed Services Arts Partnership (ASAP), I never knew how to talk about Memorial Day. Should I be solemn and reflective to honor the dead, or celebratory to honor the fact we’re still alive? In reality, there was no right answer. Memorial Day Weekend can be a time of solemn remembrance for some, a time to celebrate the unofficial start of summer for others, or a time of solemn remembrance and summer celebration for others still. For this week’s newsletter, we fall squarely in that last camp. We start by sharing a moving reflection on Memorial Day, and then explore three features on the intersection of summer, community, and connection: - Memorial Day: What do we owe those who have perished in our generation’s mismanaged wars? - Summer Violence Interruption: How can communities create social outlets to prevent spikes in violence during the summer months? - Neighborhood Heat Islands: Why are some neighborhoods up to 20 degrees hotter during the summer compared to others just blocks away? - American Exchange Project: Is a summertime domestic exchange program for high school students the key to facilitating connection across geographic difference? This was admittedly a broad theme, so we’re curious: when you think of summer and community, what comes to mind? Feel free to respond with links in the comments or email us: theconnectivetissue@gmail.com. https://lnkd.in/gvFwd8ju

So, if you wonder why Amber and I are pushing so hard to help Ruling Our eXperiences, Inc. (ROX) grow, please read the text I received last night from a mother with a 10-year-old daughter. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Jeff, it's Bev. I wanted to share a precious conversation between Reagan and her friend Ally. They were on FaceTime and Ally said they had ROX at her school on Friday (Ally goes to a different elementary school). Reagan asked her what it was. Hearing Ally explain that they learned about how girls can be confident, and then hearing Reagan say "that is important". It made me smile. I asked Ally what she thought of the things they learned, and of course she said "it was good". Standard kiddo response. So I asked her what she learned, and she said "girls can be leaders". I love that. Thank you for being a part of an organization that is teaching girls how to empower themselves. It's amazing what you and ROX are doing! ------------------------------------------------------------------- It's not me Bev, it's Amber using her story to work through me to help other young girls avoid the on-ramp to the highway of pain she traveled. If you want to help, consider being one of Amber's ACES of Hearts. If you are a company looking for cause to support, please consider being a corporate sponsor for Amber's ACES of Hearts initiative.

Don't do for others what they can and should do for themselves. ✨ Down in New Orleans, we planted the roots of our Power Made Practical™️ Cohort with this organizing principle. Let's not gate keep power by assuming what others can do, by assuming what others can learn, and by assuming how others want to achieve. As organizers, our mission is to serve up strategies and resources, helping folks in our communities stand tall in their power. ✨ Curious about how to do this for your community or organization? Email us up at activateme@2541.org. Let's build that #collectivepower. 💪🏾🔥

Just finished hosting a community event I founded for honoring community Heroes. For the past 9 years we have honored more than 200 people from a restaurant chef, hotel clerk to pediatrician. So many companies do not have any program or event for honoring those people in businesses in your community that too often go unrecognized. Are you honoring those in your company who work behind the scenes and may be the most important reason your business is successful? How about a special lunch in your office honoring those staff who truly make a difference in your business.

Friends of the Children moves mentorship beyond the volunteer realm, allowing us to make a long-term commitment to youth and their families. What does that feel like in practice? Watch youth, their families, and their Friends describe it -- and try to count how many times they say words like "fun" "good" "support" "progress" and "love": https://lnkd.in/eiSEuZKe #FriendsUtah #OneChildOneFriend #PutChildrenFirst #FriendsoftheChildren #MentoringMatters #MentorsMatter

One of the questions/requests submitted to the ReCenter panel I was a part of was the following: “[I would like to] Learn approaches to have meaningful conversations surrounding structural racism and the impact it has on society” I have some tips from my free guide, 27 Ways to Kickstart Conversations About Race with Kids 0-18, that will help! These tips are for kids 7 years old and older. Younger kids aren’t usually developmentally ready to build a mental model that will accommodate “structural racism”. When there are instances of racial injustice in your environment and/or in the news, use that as an opportunity to call out racism. Use the term ‘racist’ rather of labeling it ‘mean’ or ‘unkind’. Racism is both mean and unkind, but it also more: it is dehumanizing. We can’t fight what we can’t name. Involve your kids in the discussion. Ask what they think about the situation and how they think the parties could move to resolution. Be willing to discuss systemic racism as well as discrete racist events. Don’t shy away from the role that White people may play in the system or the event. If your children are White, empower them by including examples of where White people have fought against racial injustice alongside people of color. (Hint: there are usually racial-justice-seeking Whites involved, even if they weren’t popular or successful. Love of justice knows no borders.) Challenge what you see. What are ways that systemic racism shows up in your neighborhood/schools/job/life? Where do people of color live? Where do they work? Who takes care of children, sanitation and cleaning of hotels and personal homes where you live? Who runs the businesses and local government? Encourage your kids to make or maintain healthy interracial relationships. (I know, I know, we are less and less involved in our kids’ friend-making at this age. But, this is the developmental stage when interracial relationships start to fall away.) Healthy interracial relationships are key for helping children (and adults) to navigate an increasingly diverse world. Those relationships will be the ones where they can have deep conversations that stretch their understanding of racism, equity and justice. Link to the tips: https://lnkd.in/gVt5GwGP Have anything else to add?
Congratulations!
