Growing Up Aspen - Adventures of the Unsupervised Twist and Turn Press https://lnkd.in/gMADwC2p The power of community is a transformative force that lies at the heart of any vibrant and resilient society. In a small town like Aspen, where close-knit relationships and shared experiences are part of its essence, the importance of community cannot be overstated. It is through the strength of community that individuals find support, connection, and a sense of belonging, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. As Aspen continues to evolve and grow, it is crucial for new residents, particularly those with financial means, to recognize the privilege they hold and actively contribute to uplifting those who are less advantaged in the community. This book is written from four kids that went through the Aspen School system and write about the impact the small town of Aspen had on each of them. Learn as they show how Aspen can be that indicator frog for other small tourist towns. Growing Up Aspen is a great time travel through the 70's and 80's.

We appreciate the shout out, Latarsha B.! And we are so happy to support and celebrate this very American holiday; at the same time recognizing that our democracy is still very much a work in progress. But, if we use the past to learn and self-reflect in the present, we can be better human beings in the present and future. #Juneteenth Princeton Hydro

What do your documents say? Are you in compliance?

Have you heard of the Missouri Heart Gallery? It’s a project that began in 2006 as a way to help children in foster care in Missouri awaiting adoptive families find their forever homes. If you or someone you know is considering adoption, learn how to get started at https://buff.ly/3jZlLgf. #AdoptMOKids #NationalAdoptionMonth

Happy Juneteenth everyone! Today we celebrate, June 19, 1865, the day that Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free. Only declared a federal holiday three years ago - but none the less, I am grateful for the holiday to reflect, learn, and celebrate Black culture. Below I have linked to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History & Culture, if you want to learn a little bit- I particularly enjoyed the digital tool kit :) This got me thinking about what's my part. How can I be apart of celebrating the holiday, but also paying homage to the horrific actions of the past ? One of the ways that I work to break down barriers that continue to exist in preventing the socioeconomic ability to break generational cycles of poverty, as a result of racially fueled policy since the early days of this country is through improved and enhanced transportation. Breaking down barriers between communities through created and enhanced transportation systems, simply put, gets people where they need to go when they need to get there. That means access to school, employment, family -whatever you need it to be. Working to further conversations and implementation for / around transit initiatives, means we can provide enhanced access to economically stressed communities and cities - which we know POC tend to be among those usually the most impacted in these areas. So today, I hope that everyone can take a moment and think about what lies within your passions that help you to break barriers and create change? And if you aren't sure, join along and ALWAYS support transit initiatives 🙂 #juneteenth #breakingbarriers #strongcommunities #createchange #transportation #mobility #bethechange #economicdevelopment
