Applications open on August 2nd, at 8 am PST. Are you interested in applying? See our website at oneofusglobal.org for more information and set a reminder for when applications open!
This graphic has an orange paper texture background. A large white grid pattern mimicking paper at a slight angle is in the center. The white grid appears to be taped to the background with orange tape. On the background is the text, “APPLICATIONS OPEN SOON! The One of Us Global Foundation is looking to fill six positions within the Youth Advisory Committee. The applications for these positions will open on... AUGUST 2ND!” This slide has the same design as the previous one, with the text changed to, “What is the youth advisory committee? The Youth Advisory is a group of young people who work collaboratively to make decisions for the foundation around programs and grant-making. The team of twelve uses diverse backgrounds to support the community that the One of Us Global Foundation wishes to make." is on the white grid. Around the edge of the page are doodles like scribbles, arrows, and wavy lines. The One of Us logo, a heart surrounded by a pair of hands, is below the text in orange. Este gráfico tiene un fondo naranja con textura de papel. Un recuadro blanco con patrón de cuadrícula que simula una hoja de papel se muestra ligeramente inclinado en el centro. Este recuadro parece estar pegado al fondo con una cinta adesiva naranja. "¡Las aplicaciones se abrirán pronto! One of Us Global Foundation está buscando llenar seis posiciones en el Youth Advisory Committee. Las aplicaciones para estos puestos abrirán el... ¡2 de agosto!". Esta diapositiva tiene el mismo diseño que la anterior, pero con el texto. "¿Qué es el Youth Advisory Committee? El Youth Advisory es un grupo de personas jóvenes que colaboran para la toma de decisiones en la fundación respecto a programas y concesión de fondos. El equipo de doce usa sus diversas procedencias para apoyar a la comunidad que One of Us desea respaldar" se muestra sobre el recuadro. Alrededor del recuadro hay diversos garabatos como rayones, flechas y líneas onduladas. El logo de One of Us, un corazón rodeado por un par de manos se muestra debajo del texto en color naranja.

If you made a gift to the One of Us Foundation during last fall’s Claim the Crown event - supporting these young leaders is where your donation went.

Thanks to all of you who made this possible & congrats to all these award winners!

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

If you’re feeling despair today, I understand.

But Trump’s second term will expose a reality that's been hidden from many Americans: the raw, stinking power of the American oligarchy.

I’m hopeful that America will see this reality for what it is and respond to it. youtu.be/bepjl3orz1A?...

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

If you want to understand that no, Mark Zuckerman isn't some harmless money-grubbing schmuck, go read the truly shocking "Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica And The Plot To Break America" by whistleblower Christopher Wylie. You will have trouble sleeping after reading this book.

The LA fires are a profound example of what climate scientists have been struggling to prevent for decades.

I hope everyone remembers that oil and gas companies, with full knowledge, created this future, in exchange for their windfall profits and geopolitical power.
