I included this map showing the four sections of the library I've built since the 1990s in an article that I posted today at tutormentor.blogspot.com/2026/09/scar... In each section there are many sub sections, each with dozens of links to external websites and other libraries.

This concept map shows the four sections of the library I've built since the 1990s. Each sub-section has multiple sub-sections, each with even more sub-sections and dozens of links to external websites.

This is one of the most important concepts that I share. Unless we influence what donors, business, media, policy-makers, etc. do, we’ll never have the comprehensive birth-to-work support systems needed in every high poverty area of the USA. danielbassill319958.substack.com/p/influence-...

This is part of an article on Substack.com that breaks down a graphic that shows the role business, philanthropy, government and others need to take to make comprehensive, long-term, mentor-rich programs available to K-12 youth in every high poverty neighborhood.

I created this graphic more than a decade ago to show the role of the Tutor/Mentor library in on-going innovation and problem solving. Take a look. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2022/10/role...

This graphic shows the role of information libraries in on-going innovation and problem solving. The carrot represents a "good idea/practice". If shared publicly it attracts early users (the rabbit) who is then followed by other innovators (the first dog), who then are followed by others. Adding new information to the library (carrots) is an on-going part of the process.

Congress can’t indict people. They can have hearings and impeachment trials. But not criminal trials. Please don’t expect criminal trials and then blame democrats when you don’t get them. Midterms are step one. We have to win in 2028 and add seats to SCOTUS to hold people criminally accountable.

If I make a $1 donation using my credit card how much will I be charged in added fees? I'm getting swamped with requests for such donations. If electing EVERY Dem candidate were not so important I'd block every email and text with such requests. I give when I can & what I can.

While I was launching a small #tutor #mentor program in Chicago in 1993 I also created a program intended to help similar programs grow in all high poverty areas. Read about it at tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/10/seek...

This graphic shows a map of Chicago, with areas of high poverty highlighted. Green dots on the map are known tutor/mentor programs (from 2000s). The Cabrini Connections program served teens in the Near North area of Chicago. The Tutor/Mentor Connection was created to help similar programs thrive in every high poverty area of the city.

I show the local-global strategy that I launched in 1993 in this blog article. I piloted in #Chicago, but it applies to any city. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2026/08/one-...

This map of Chicago shows areas of high poverty. It also shows the single tutor/mentor programs I led in the Cabrini-Green area on the Near North side.

While I led a single tutor/mentor program in one Chicago zip code from 1975 to 2011 I created the Tutor/Mentor Connection in 1993 to help my program, and all others, get needed attention and resources on a more consistent basis. I formed the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC to continue this strategy.
