- A 2024 study that examined the closures of charter schools from 1998 to 2022 found that more than 25% of charter schools close within five years of opening. This increases to 49% within fifteen years of opening.
- There is nothing “wasteful” or “discriminatory” about helping women enter the workforce. DOGE and the Trump administration are trying to send us back 105 years to a time before the Women’s Bureau at the Dept. of Labor was established.
- As we approach the anniversary of Brown v. Board this weekend, we must acknowledge that many charter schools perpetuate school segregation. #EduSky
- Planned Parenthood provides a full range of reproductive health care, including birth control, family planning services, and cancer screenings. The GOP is trying to defund Planned Parenthood and strip away health care from Oregonians and Americans—predominately women. #ImForPP
- Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in NW Oregon and around the country!
- Dr. Carla Hayden has been a wonderful and well-liked Librarian of Congress. For the president to fire her—a year before the end of her term—is outrageous, and it should be challenged. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/p...
- It was wonderful to celebrate the grand opening of the Centro Mercado with local leaders and community members in Cornelius. No one in our country should go hungry, and the Mercado provides a welcoming space where people in need can get free food that is healthy and culturally appropriate.
- From Team Bonamici’s furry friends: happy National Pet Week and happy Friday!
