Thanks to @Vegalteno & @LiraSerg for joining us in the Public Policy Laboratory on Thursday. Was great to soft launch the Elizabeth D. Rockwell Center on Ethics & Leadership's series on "The Future of Democracy" with a convo between these two Latino political leaders.
Political strategist Luis A. Miranda Jr. detailed his new memoir with students in the public policy lab course. Miranda discussed his extensive work in politics and political campaigns, Latino culture, community building and insights on Latino voters ahead of the 2024 election.

@BethSchueler Oh! I need to return your work on that. Send it to me. Working on an op-ed now about incorporating teacher leadership into HISD and this would be a perfect connection.

As a @Columbia graduate, my heart has broken so many times for the community that I hold dear & held me dear. I'm so proud of these Jewish students & feel a genuine swell of l'dor v'dor as they embody the strength & integrity of our community.

@KellyRasti I would love to know the answer to this and what you’re working on! I’m writing a paper on SB 1882 partnership and so curious about any the charter school governing boards.
