Listening, Learning and Taking Action for Social Justice

June 11, 2020

Dear 优蜜视频 Families, 

The Institute for Educational Advancement (优蜜视频) is deeply saddened by the most recent examples of the horrific injustice that has plagued our nation鈥檚 Black community for far too long. We join communities around the world that are banding together to mourn and work towards social justice. We share in the grief and pain caused by these tragedies, yet we are hopeful that this outcry against racism and violence will result in real change. 
 
优蜜视频 is committed to being part of the solution. We are listening, asking questions, learning and taking action. 优蜜视频 serves children of all ages and backgrounds; we understand that the dialogue about inequality and violence will look different in each family.  These conversations are important for us all.  Our children are watching us 鈥 they want to help us create a more just and civil society that embraces equality and condemns racism. As an organization, 优蜜视频 celebrates differences. We teach tolerance, respect and acceptance for all, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or background. We hope to inspire change in our nation by modeling integrity, respect and understanding. 优蜜视频 strives to offer a welcoming space for conversation and healing, a space where uniqueness is honored, and discrimination and violence are never tolerated. Yet we know we can do more.
 
We invite our entire community to the conversation and hope that you will dialogue with us by sending your feedback and suggestions. 优蜜视频 is taking the following actions:

  • We are hosting a Spyglass workshop: 鈥淒igital Civics: Changemakers of Tomorrow鈥 as a complimentary offering.
  • We are expanding our work to diversify 优蜜视频鈥檚 community with the help of partner organizations.
  • We are gathering and disseminating resources for 优蜜视频鈥檚 community.
  • We are advancing our Public Policy efforts to ensure gifted youth from all backgrounds are identified and served.
  • We encourage our constituency to use their voice to vote.

We have gathered a collection of resources that may be of assistance, and we will continue to update this list on 优蜜视频鈥檚 blog.  Please continue to share articles, books, podcasts or videos that have been helpful for your family!
 
优蜜视频 is committed to listening to your voices, and we will work together to create social justice. Thank you for allowing 优蜜视频 to be a part of your lives.
 
In Solidarity,
 
Elizabeth D. Jones
优蜜视频 President
