I’m not being a hater. Let’s have a serious discussion: Why does any Institution of Higher Education feel that having alums who are delegates to a Political Convention is newsworthy? THERE IS NO PURPOSE! That university is trying to engage in DEMOCRAT PARTY GOTV efforts. Their federal funding should be CUT! There are probably 50 Carolina alums who are delegates. A&T has several delegates and you don’t see their University promoting such a common occurrence. I encourage the Administration at NCCU to stay out of politics and focus on fundraising (which last I read, was quite pathetic). Get some of your alums to stop buying BMWs and give you $100 and perhaps we wouldn’t have to utilize so much of our tax dollars on landscaping over in Durham. Black Institutions must stop playing SMALL BALL. This type of BUSHLEAGUE activity is why Blacks as myself, who took Honors and AP courses and excelled DO NOT EVEN APPLY TO THESE SCHOOLS. #GlorifiedHighSchoolers #PoliticallyCHEAPpeople 🤦

Great article in Glo!

"We’ve known for a long time that creating a single application would make the process less burdensome for artists and grassroots arts organizations. And yet, creating a common application that maintained the integrity of funders’ individual priorities, and could be widely accepted by arts funders, felt like a distant dream. It took the hard lessons we learned during and after the pandemic to push us to stop saying “someday” and get serious about doing things differently."

Understanding hope in a philosophical light compels us to reflect on our roles within this dynamic. As global citizens, how do we respond to the hope of others in distress? Do our actions contribute to the fulfillment or the frustration of this hope? Such reflection will determine the way we answer these questions and shapes not just policies and responses to crises (refugee crisis and others) but the very fabric of our shared humanity. Hope, then, is not merely a survival and health strategy; it is a profound testament to the resilience and indefatigable spirit of those who dare to dream of a better tomorrow amidst the rubble of their pasts. It challenges each of us to respond with compassion and justice, ensuring that hope is not a cruel irony but a prelude to a new beginning.

The #CACreativeCorps is such an exciting initiative at the state of CA that centers artists, culture bearers and creative workers to develop media, outreach, and engagement campaigns designed to increase: (1) public health awareness messages to stop the spread of COVID-19; (2) public awareness related to water and energy conservation, climate mitigation, and emergency preparedness, relief, and recovery; (3) civic engagement, including election participation; and (4) social justice and community engagement. 60% of funds must either be granted directly to individuals or used by nonprofit sub-grantees to hire individual artists. California is innovating when we make investments in the people and places that can create change. This was funded in the 2021 state budget with a 1x appropriation of $60 million, the single largest investment to the California Arts Council that is now fully expended. Let's work together to ensure continued funding for this program and look for ways to collaborate with other programs such as California Climate Action Corps. #CAiscreative #CAjobsfirst #creativityunleashed #artworkiswork Californians For The Arts

99 years ago today, 10 municipal leaders from across the country sat down together in Lawrence, Kansas for the first official meeting of the National League of Cities. On this important anniversary, I took some time to reflect on how much has changed and what has remained the same for our incredible organization in these last 100 years.
