Jonathan D. Chang’s portrait (below, left) of Vicha Ratanapakdee, 84, killed on the streets of #SanFrancisco has became a symbol on #socialmedia in the fight vs anti-Asian violence in the US. Join me, the Thai-American community & others for #JusticeForVicha #VichaRatanapakdee
Originally from #Thailand, #VichaRatanapakdee 🙏moved to #SanFrancisco to help care for his grandkids. After finishing his daily routine of prepping his grandsons for their day, he was on his usual morning walk when he was violently shoved & kicked. #RIP thaienquirer.com/23795/opinion-…
“Disgusted, angry & sad”: L.A. artist Jonathan D. Chang says about killing of Vicha Ratanapakdee in #SF.

Equity should be our constant demand of government.
Baton Rouge is one of the most segregated cities in America. It’s done by design. It’s continually perpetuated in how we invest our tax dollars. Back in 2018 I went to this community meeting about the tax plan for schools.

We spent over $100 million on two new high schools south of Florida Blvd. and less than $50 million on two high schools in north Baton Rouge.
If you follow the money, you’ll find the disparities. This problem isn’t isolated to Baton Rouge. It’s foundational in America.

Remember separate but equal? It was intentional. So if damage was intentionally done. It must be intentionally addressed.
Equality means we all get the same thing. Equity is we address the disparity created from not properly resourcing to begin with.

It moved me to tears, and I thought about taking a group of high school students to see the movie. I spoke with @EdwardTedJames, then @dunndealbr, @edmondjordan, @dadrius.lanus, @RayJetson, and @MayorBroome.
When we reached out to two schools, AP McCurry (@Sunshine.dionne) and

Principal Dr. Angela Jones they immediately said yes. We took a few bus loads of high school juniors and seniors to see the movie, and had a meaningful conversation after.

(THREAD) @ImpactAlpha challenges #impact investors to scale up their efforts 10X. To which I say: Yes! #Investors can do more, but there’s also #policy and #civics to consider. I want to share some ways at @_BlueHaven we’re addressing the #pandemic.
1/ On the #investment side, we’re checking in with #entrepreneurs and orgs we support, helping them keep their teams intact, thinking through costs, etc. (Check out @LaurenSCochran’s conversation with @annefieldonline: bit.ly/2XSdX8D)
2/ Bridge loans to #impact companies can also help. We’re excited about our investment in the Open Road Alliance Fund (@openroadtweets), which offers these to orgs affected by #COVID19 all over the world. bit.ly/2yavbUt
Speaking now on the #CivicEngagement benefits of @MAhistoryday & @NationalHistory. "More than 5,000 students from grades 6-12 competed in the most recent completion" #SenBudget #mapoli #NHD
Partnership with #MassHistoricalSociety & @masscultural has boosted and supported @MAhistoryday, but Mass. can step up and provide even more support for this active, creative learning opportunity
