The recent executive order is part of a broader attack on public education in the U.S. It's a continuation of efforts to devalue, debase, and criminalize communities of color. We decry these attacks and urge Congress and educational leaders to do what is right for every child in the nation.

Pauli Murray! In 1948 we hired Murray to investigate and compile state segregation laws. That work became the book States’ Laws on Race and Color, and the book became the foundation for the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to declare racial segregation in schools, Brown v. Board of Education. #UMC

Pollution, climate change, unsustainable resource use, and land conversion are driving the biodiversity crisis—even in areas with little human impact. Remote ecosystems have just 33% of viable plant species, showing how far-reaching our effects on the biosphere are, says @julianschrader.bsky.social
theconversation.com
Invisible losses: thousands of plant species are missing from places they could thrive – and humans are the reason
Many native plants are missing from habitats where they should thrive – even in wilder areas. Why? Human actions such as logging, poaching and setting fires.
