Tomorrow at 12pm ET, join Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist @kwoodsome for a special live AMA event.
This will be a meaningful and impactful discussion about Jan 6 then and now, and how "to heal the nervous system of democracy." Hope to see you there!

(2/2) Independent storytelling, especially through public media, is also about education and building the kind of understanding that holds us together.
That's why public media matters. Now more than ever.

(1/2) @KenBurns reminds us that freedom isn’t just about what I want. It’s about what we need.
At Spark, that's the heart of what we do. Independent storytelling, especially through public media, isn't just about entertainment, it’s about connection. thewrap.com/ken-burns-pbs-am…

One of the greatest moments of joy that we experienced in the last year was when Assad fell, and our friend could finally share her name and her work with the world openly. Rana is a creative genius, and she continues to inspire us with her art and bravery!
Public Defender retweeted
She survived a war and truths carried in silence. Now she creates freely, boldly inspiring others.
This #WomensHistoryMonth, we recognize and celebrate the ongoing work of trailblazers who are shaping the future - brave and inspiring women like Rana Ahmad. #شهر تاريخ المرأة

Public Defender reminds us that behind every person there is a unique story and by truly listening with empathy, we can open hearts and connect with our shared
humanity.
Public Defender retweeted
Definitely worth the watch. We will never heal our nation if we continue to allow division - we must start to see the humanity in one another.
Our film questions the systems that seem intent on dividing us and asks who should be held responsible.
While courts deliberate @realDonaldTrump's legal fate, his accountability for #Jan6th lies with the American people. #Vote

Highly recommend everyone watch this monumental film.
Public Defender shows what’s at stake this election and that there are still decent people who will work to find common ground and bring people back from extremism.
