#YoungPersonTuesday 6.5.18

 

 

Today’s #YoungPersonTuesday is dedicated to the late Razan al-Najjar. She was a 21 year old nurse and volunteer medic murdered by Israeli forces as she was running, hands up, towards the wounded during a recent clash. Now I will not claim to know everything about the ongoing crisis between Israel and Palestine or the Israeli occupation of  Palestinian land but I do know that young people are dying, have been dying for decades. They’ve been Risking their lives for what they believe in. Razan was brave. I hope her bravery can inspire us to never back down on our quest for justice. Let us lift her and all the young Palestinian activists up in love and support as they continue to fight for what is right. Check out this video of Razan, shot a few days before she died (https://t.co/ZzDOZyt1Bv?ssr=true). Watch her passion, see her fortitude. Rest In Power, Razan#YoungPersonTuesday #YoungQueenTuesday #youngpersontuesday #youngqueentuesday

This week’s #YoungPersonTuesday is @littlemissflint. This young queen  has dedicated most of her life to making sure the people of Flint have clean water , something that should be a human right. While the Flint water crisis has been known for several years, thousands of Flint citizens are STILL without water. They hype of issue has died down but @littlemissflint has never wavered from her support. Just yesterday, she and others passed out over 135,00 bottles of yesterday in 90 degree heat. Let’s continue to lift this #youngqueen in support and love. Go to her social media pages (fab, twitter, insta) to find out ways to support and donate https://instagram.com/p/BjS63V2A67B/ #youngpersontuesday

#YoungPersonTuesday 5.22.18

I seem to always be super busy on Tuesdays but I’m going to get better! This late #YoungPersonTuesday post is dedicated to one of my students, Maria Gil. She’s a very dedicated and humble queen who’s trying to better her lives and the lives of those around her. It has been a particularly trying year for her but she’s still here! Her persistence and optimism in the face of constant turmoil is inspiring. She has many causes that are near and dear to her but her favorite one to support is the Lupus foundation. If the spirit moves you, please use  this link and donate to the cause in her name. Let’s lift this #YoungQueen up in love and support #youngqueentuesday #YoungQueenTuesday #YOUNGQUEENTUESDAY #YOUNGPERSONTUESDAY
