Have A Great Weekend!

Alums are moving and shaking. On the campaign trail. Behind the scenes in the Administration. Across the country every day. Join us at CtK.Jake’s retreat in DC in October for more networking, skill shares, and professional development.

And here are just a couple of the issues that CtK.Campfire Fellows highlighted this past week.

Katie Bethell and her organization Paid Leave US was highly visible (again!) this week. Check out the videos with Democratic Candidates.

“#paidfamilyleave is about giving dignity. The most important care we give is to our family, and that strengthens families and communities. Everyone needs this.” Beautiful words from ⁦@KamalaHarris⁩ at #DNC19 pic.twitter.com/uRtT3IKYRd

“There are so many people in the sandwich generation, taking care of their parents and kids. We want them to succeed, and #paidfamilyleave is the way to start.” That’s right @amyklobuchar at #dncsummermeeting! pic.twitter.com/tGDga33Yeb

“I’m a parent myself, I’ve got two young kids, and I how how important #paidfamilyleave is.” @AndrewYang is ready to make it happen! #DNCSummer19 pic.twitter.com/vsBUgHkBsn

Bishop Garrison was on MSNBC talking about ethics and values in the 2020 election.

Rainey Center president and co-founder, Bishop Garrison, appeared on MSNBC on August 18, 2019, to discuss the Democratic primary candidates, and specifically look at Elizabeth Warren's rising poll numbers as compared to Joe Biden's.

We’re headed into the weekend thinking about these two issues and how they tie together. We have a few things to say about the importance of family, ethics, and generativity. Look for those in the coming week.

Have a great weekend!
