Today is the first statewide giving day @forsouthdakota. I hope you’ll consider giving a donation to a charity or cause that is meaningful to you. Nearly 400 charities are participating - you can give to one of them here: southdakotagives.org
We’ll be supporting a number of our personal favorites @forsouthdakota including @bobbiebohlen and her work at Grant Count Development Corporation. #IBelieveInMilbank

As a family, we believe the most important way to help our community is by making sure that kids get enough to eat. Because of this, we support the work of @FeedingSD. Perhaps you’ll join us as we give @forsouthdakota.

Another organization that we strongly believe in is @REACH_Literacy which runs one of the largest bookstores in South Dakota & helps adults learn to read. On South Dakota’s Day of Giving, this is a perfect place to give @forsouthdakota.

If you believe, as we do, in the importance of South Dakota’s small towns, join us in supporting @DKTAresources. They’re working @forsouthdakota each and every day.

We believe strongly in the work of @SoDakPB and the stories they share about this state. #ForSouthDakota

There are so many other important causes to give to today - @Strider_Edu Foundation, @JAMartandsupply, @the_newcolossus and more!

Explore them all here: southdakotagives.org

I'm always grateful for @ellmcgirt, but especially today for the conversation that she moderated on the impacts of the attacks on the AAPI community, the work to be done & the reasons to search for hope. Thanks to Yuh-Line Niou, Frank Wu, Jeff Yang & many others for their voices.
So many stories shared, but wanted to also share some of the links that came from panelists and attendees.

So, I promised an exciting update from Emerson - my 11 year old - and today is the day.

Many of you know the back story, but in case you don’t...
Emerson likes to write letters. Lots and lots of letters. And, she likes to decorate the envelopes so people know how much time she puts in.
She decided to send a letter to Doug, our mail carrier, just to say thank you. She included a joke about elephants and mentioned her love of Taylor Swift.

White friends & family.
Step 1. Amplify voices.

Here are some strong, wise voices that will always say it better than you or I. There are many, many others. Find them and share them. @nhannahjones @ava @amelielamont @TatianaTMac @IjeomaOluo @MsPackyetti Image
Step 2. Read & Learn. It’s time for us to do the work, not verbally process. (Again, Step 1. Amplify stronger, wiser voices.) @IjeomaOluo’s book was recommended awhile back (by @vcastillo630.) It’s a good place to start. There are many, many others. Find them and share them. Image
Step 3. Invest. If you truly want a more just and equitable world, put your money to work with orgs run by BIPOC. Our family invests in a better future through The Creative School in SE DC. There are many, many others. Find them and share them. donorbox.org/give2tcs Image

The past couple days have been beyond our wildest dreams, but today was a fairytale. I’m not sure I can fully capture what we just experienced, but I’ll do my best.

…ready for it?

#sincerelyemerson
This afternoon, we received two packages in the daily mail. One a bundle of letters from postal workers around the country.

The other box was oversized and covered in “Please Handle With Care. Thank You.” stickers.
I’ll be honest. We didn’t think too much about it. There have been so many letters this week that the most unlikely scenario didn’t even occur to us.

I cut the box open while we sorted through some other mail. And, then...

Emerson and I have been reflecting on the past seven days and decided that we want to start a new Saturday practice. Your notes through mail & social media have been overwhelming and we want to return the favor with #WeSeeYou shoutouts. Feel free to join us.
To our friends at the @USPS: You are sacrificing your health and well being to ensure the world stays connected and #WeSeeYou.
To family and friends of @USPS employees: you shared heartwarming & heartbreaking stories of your loved ones. We are so grateful for the work they do & the sacrifice you’re making. #WeSeeYou

Crazy idea alert: we’ve had more kind notes than we deserve or can respond to. So, in the tweets below, we’re going to try to do some global letter match making. Read the prompt carefully & retweet so the people that need some human connection via mail can receive it! ❤️
IF YOU’D LIKE TO WRITE A LETTER, reply here. Share your name, the city you live in & a fun fact about yourself.
