I first came to Chicago Debates over four years looking for work that was personal. You see, deciding to join my high school's debate team has been one of the most impactful choices I have made thus far. Through debate I learned how to listen critically. Through debate I learned how to research and analyze sources. Through debate I learned how to have civil discussions. Through debate I learned how to advocate for myself. Through debate I traveled the country and met people from different background and perspectives. Through debate I found a community. One of our former board members used to say, "Debate isn't going to be for everyone, but everyone should have access to debate." That phrase has stuck in my mind ever since because it’s true. While not everyone may understand why a student wakes up early on a Saturday to argue for 8+ hours, the skills learned through this activity are so integral that no one should face barriers to accessing it. I know your feed is likely full of messages asking for support today. But this Giving Tuesday is especially critical for Chicago Debates. We began our season with news of significant funding cuts from the school district. Despite these challenges, we’ve reimagined our approach and have started the season strong, maintaining our programs with limited resources. As we approach the end of the year, we’re working to close funding gaps so we can start 2025 even stronger. If you know me, or someone else who has had their life shaped by the power of debate, please consider donating. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/ghKVUAKM

Don’t forget that period supplies are school supplies. We’re proud to donate to schools within our Clark County School District, charter and private schools. This is just a small sample of the schools we’re proud to donate to. 1 in 4 girls miss school each month because they don’t have period supplies. Let’s help all students stay in school all month long, even when they have their period. PERIOD #endperiodpoverty #period #marilyn #periodposse #periodsuppliesareschoolsupplies

"Attention ARRT members! 📢 As professionals in the field of medical imaging and radiation therapy, we have the opportunity to influence our recognition and status through the upcoming review of the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The SOC classification, which determines job requirements and classifications, is crucial for establishing our profession's standing. Let's seize this moment to advocate for proper recognition and representation. One key step is to collectively draft letters addressing our roles, responsibilities, and the significance of our contributions to healthcare. Check out the SOC classifications relevant to our professions and get involved in shaping our future: [Link to SOC classifications]. https://www.bls.gov/soc/ Together, we can elevate our profession and ensure that our expertise is duly recognized. #ARRT #MedicalImaging #RadiationTherapy #HealthcareProfessionals #SOCReview" #stayRAD #DermaCureRT
