HHS announced today they will consider Head Start a welfare program, not an education program, and will subject it to new citizenship requirements. This goes against decades of legal precedence that all children in America have a right to education. Announcement here. www.hhs.gov/press-room/p...

“There has never been a time when you, or I, made art in a society that truly supports or values it, within a state that recognizes our needs and our full humanity … We are still here. We’re still showing up for each other … we have to be curious, and keep nurturing and expanding our imaginations”
