Youth Suicide Public Health Alert: A Call to Action
The COVID pandemic and civil unrest in our country has increased uncertainty for all us, including our youth, and we cannot underestimate the impact. Physical and social distancing, increased isolation as cold weather approaches, school concerns, changes in relationships, and worries for family and friend’s health and the future of our country all contribute toward increased anxiety and despair. We must work to mitigate this to prevent further tragedy. Read more here...
Antiracist Action #14: Celebrate the Power of Love!
Interracial relationships and families demonstrate that the POWER OF LOVE can overcome racial and cultural barriers and boundaries. Check out two stories from interracial couples who share their experiences and advice.
  
"This is my parents' interracial couple love story as told by my Korean mother. My mom met my Black father in the 1980s in the United States. Though this story has a happy ending, it didn't start out that way." - Cedric Skycedi
A couple says their relationship has been no different than others that want the best for their family: “Those issues don’t change. How to raise children? What are they doing in school? What are their plans for their future? How do you help them to be successful? Those things don’t change because they’re biracial.”
