"I am not a quiet person. But I can use quiet. To let myself choose quiet is to value my voice, my time, my energy, my words. It is to know that if the words are not there, they will come. To let myself choose quiet is to know that, sometimes, the most important thing is not to change or teach unwilling others, but to take care of myself. Sometimes the loudest thing we can doāthe most generative, most disruptive, most rambunctious, most radical, most revolutionary thing we can doāis give ourselves what we need. Time. Space. Rest. Energy. Love. Quiet. Quiet can be useful. I know how to use it, and Iām glad." -MECCA JAMILAH SULLIVANĀ
Cause really everyone can change the world "People think that if they canāt tackle all of the worldās problems and make it all better overnight, thereās no purpose. I totally disbelieve that. I believe that every action really does contribute to change, and the power that each and every one of us has to decide whether we want to be participants in creating the world we live in or we choose ā and this is also a choice that we pretend isnāt ā we choose to do nothing."
Dave Chappelle Maya Angelou Iconoclasts
A thing that starts happening with uncomfortable frequency, when you start a thing, is that you have to ask for money. A lot.Ā Asking for money still strikes a big portion of my brain as anathema, but here we are.Ā
The bottom line, the real, no-bullshit bottom line is: we canāt run our program this summer if we canāt help subsidize the cost of the program for some of our students whoseĀ schools just donātĀ have money for summer programs in their budget.
If we canāt lift those students, we canāt run the program. No students get to go.Ā
It isĀ maddeningĀ to be writing and researching programs about the effect of class and socioeconomic status on the privileges afforded to us from a very young age whileĀ simultaneouslyĀ like, playing the home gameĀ .Ā While saying, sorry, kid. Your school doesnāt have a spare $700 lying around to send you to camp, so you miss out on exploring your own personal story and learning to value it AND your peersā stories. Empathy: who needs it?
So, you miss out on learning techniques for relaxation and self-care. Good luck on the PSATs, SAT, college apps, the job you probably have, and just generally being a teenager in the world.Ā
So, you miss out on picking up tools to fight bullying. I guess weāll amend that catchy slogan to: Hey. Look. ItāllĀ probablyĀ get better, I guess?
I am livid, and stressed out (and I KNOW the damn mindfulness practices!) and heartbroken that this whole thing hinges onĀ money.Ā StupidĀ money.Ā
And I look at things like the TAH Kickstarter, or VMars, or Middleman or Paul & Storm, and I get it! I super get it. I donated to a few of those. But it has been hurtingĀ me to see people raising money and being so overwhelmed by donations that they have to come up with new premiums. To see a torrent of cash, a SLIVER of which would instantlyĀ solve all of our money problems for the rest of theĀ year,Ā plumb knock them down with its force.Ā
So. Right! I was going to ask you for money. But ⦠Iām not going to. Iām going to just make it easy for you to giveĀ if you want to.
Iāve put the link up. You can donate there using Paypal, or a credit card processed securely by same. If you have a coin jar you want to cash in for us, or can only donate by check, or if your office has some money to give - get in touch with me: stefstein at gmail. We can talk details.
Take a look at our site, or the specific page for our summer program, just to get an idea of what weāre about.Ā
And if you canāt spare anything (and believe me. I canāt even spare anything for us right now. It sucks!), please pass the link around.
Look, Iām not saying to sneak into wherever your neighborhood millionaires hang out and carve it into the mahogany walls of the restrooms, but⦠actually, wait, I am totally saying that.Ā
Did you know where the millionaires hung out thisĀ whole time? Wow, I donāt know how to feel about that. Hit up those millionaires, I guess.
So. Thanks. If the most you can do is wish us luck? Honey, right now, Iāll take that. Iām hoping this story turns out to be a hacky movie, because at least that way I know this Dark Night of the Soul turns into a happy ending, with us triumphant.Ā
Triumph, in this case, would look a lot like a bunch of high school kids sitting around a campfire.
And goddammit, I want it more than anything.

"Today Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the US than in Mexico; and many Mexicans have come to resent the holiday as a result of its warped appropriation of Mexican culture."
JULIET āWeāre trained from a very young age to search for clues about money in the slightest details. And, of course, money matters. It would be untrue to say we spent an afternoon telling each otherās stories and āgot past that whole difference in class thing.ā But when you tell someoneās story, thatās something precious, and you have to take care of it, you have to take care of them. Afterward, as my partner was making me laugh during all the āserious faceā photos, I was really grateful that he had taken as much care with my story as I tried to with his.ā
A Tale of Two Schools,Ā
ADAM āAs a kid, youāre unaware that there are people who donāt have what you have. Then you realize, Oh, my God, there are people who donāt have anything like what I have. And you realize youāve been given an unfair advantage. Itās my responsibility to use that advantage for social justice and to make the world a better place.ā

The Tale of Two Schools
"University Heights High School is on St. Anns Avenue in the South Bronx, which is part of the poorest congressional district in America, according to the Census Bureau. Six miles away is the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, with its arched stone entrance and celebritiesā children and $43,000-a-year tuition. Eight years ago, as part of a program called Classroom Connections, students from the schools began exchanging letters, which eventually led to a small group from University Heights visiting Fieldston for a day. āAt the time in our school, these were tough street kids,ā said Lisa Greenbaum, who has been teaching English literature at University Heights for 10 years. āThey walked into Fieldston, and they were just overwhelmed. They couldnāt imagine that this was just minutes from where they lived, and they never even knew about it. One kid ran crying off campus. It made them so disheartened about their own circumstances.ā

"What happens when you pay two monkeys unequally? Watch what happens."
Because inequality is unbearable.Ā
"We need to see people other than ourselves in order to empathize. If we donāt live around others we do ourselves and our society damage because our ability to relate becomes impaired. Itās easy to demonize, or simply dismiss, people you donāt know or see. Itās in this context that we can keep having inane conversations about the āhabitsā and ācultureā of the poor and āinner cityā citizens. Itās nearly impossible to commiserate with the unseen and unknown.ā
