The Moment
Our Children Are a Rainforest of Potential – What Future Will We Give Them?
The well-being of children should concern us all. This crucial election week, we must unite in choosing a more inclusive and democratic society. Georgia educator Katie Rinderle, who was fired for reading a children’s book about acceptance, encourages us to advocate for all children, reminding us of the importance of our votes at all levels, including local school boards. And feature articles from our new fall magazine on food insecurity and the critical need to end the school-to-prison pipeline emphasize the critical need to live up to our nation’s democratic values. As we vote and participate in civic action, let us choose a more hopeful future for all our children.

Learning from the Civil Rights Movement
The Civil Rights Movement is a story of people who believed they could bring about change. The resources in this series can help us learn from our history and examine today’s justice issues to answer the questions: “How can I make a difference?” “How can we make a difference together?”
