LOCAL POLITICS - WHY TRANSPARENCY MATTERS

A year later a bond is up for vote in North Kitsap School District. A bond worth approximately $264 million dollars. That’s right. And guess what? We are back to where we started. Despite competent and good minds working on this project, it failed to include one of our schools on Tribal lands - why?

POLÍTICA LOCAL - POR QUÉ IMPORTA LA TRANSPARENCIA

Un año después, un bono se somete a votación en el Distrito Escolar de North Kitsap. Un bono por un valor aproximado de $264 millones de dólares. Así es. ¿Y adivina qué? Estamos de vuelta donde empezamos. A pesar de que en este proyecto trabajaron mentes competentes y buenas, no se pudo incluir una de nuestras escuelas en tierras tribales. ¿Por qué?

El lamento, el arrepentimiento y la oración de Adviento de un pastor blanco… Cyon Edgerton

Hemos elegido la política y el progreso antes que la paz.

Hemos elegido el éxito sobre tu Espíritu.

Hemos buscado poder, posición y privilegios más que su presencia.

Hemos subido a plataformas en lugar de arrodillarnos a vuestros pies.

Hemos colonizado su evangelio y bastardizado su misión.

A white pastor’s lament, repentance, and Advent prayer… Cyon Edgerton

We have chosen politics and progress over peace.

We have chosen success over your Spirit.

We have sought power, position, and privilege more than your presence.

We have climbed onto platforms rather than knelt at your feet.

We have colonized your gospel and bastardized your mission.

What is Systemic Racism? - Gabriela Ituarte

My journey began as a clinical psychologist in Mexico, and over 25 years, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of fostering mental well-being and inclusivity. This journey has led me to become a Cornell-certified DEI professional, and I am deeply committed about participating in creating a more equitable and inclusive society.

¿Qué es un Sistema de supremacía Racial? - Gabriela Ituarte

Generalmente al escuchar estas palabras pensamos en personas rapadas, con barbas largas y suásticas tatuadas, empuñando la bandera confederada de los Estado Unidos, gritando a todo pulmón que odian a las personas de color.
