Youth On Fire: Burning Down the Stereotypes
by Bill Barnert 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

This Thursday at the main library on Broadway, *Youth on Fire*<http://www.aac.org/about/our-work/youth-on-fire.html> and the *Cambridge GLBT Commission <http://www.cambridgema.gov/glbt> *are presenting an evening program called *Burning Down the Stereotypes* on *LGBTQ Young Adult Homelessness: Stories of Risk & Resilience and What You Can Do. *(Food, film, exposition and panel discussion.) - Thursday, November 14, 2013 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM Cambridge Public Library (Main Branch) 449 Broadway Lower level L2, in the Auditorium *Youth on Fire* <http://www.aac.org/about/our-work/youth-on-fire.html> is a drop-in center for homeless and street-involved youth in Harvard Square. YOF has provided a broad spectrum of vital services, supports and opportunities to over 3,000 youth since the program opened its doors in the Spring of 2000. I have had a chance to meet with some of the youth, and they have incredibly interesting stories to tell. About 1/3 of homeless youth are GLBT. As a member of the Cambridge GLBT Commission, I have been working with YOF, and will be co-sponsoring this event. As part of the presentation, "*No Place Like Home*", a new short documentary film, will be premiered. Here's the trailer<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYUKLim9jPQ> . Hope to see you there! And if you can, donations of new packaged socks & gloves are appreciated. Bill Barnert

FW: Join Us! "Look Before You Leap: Lessons for the Next Wave of Ed Reform from the Last Twenty Years" Nov 13th

From: Pat Jehlen <patricia.jehlen(a)masenate.gov> Date: Thursday, November 7, 2013 3:13 PM To: Pat Jehlen <patricia.jehlen(a)masenate.gov> Subject: Join Us! "Look Before You Leap: Lessons for the Next Wave of Ed Reform from the Last Twenty Years" Nov 13th Dear Neighbor I¹d like to invite you to an upcoming education reform forum, "Look Before You Leap: Lessons for the Next Wave of Ed Reform from the Last Twenty Years,² on Wednesday November 13th at University Hall 2-150, Lesley University 1815 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge from 7:00pm-8:30pm. As we approach a new wave of reform with Common Core standards and a new, bigger battery of tests, and proposals to life the cap on charter schools, it seems like a good time to look back on the last wave. This wave began 20 years ago with the Ed Reform Act of 1993, which increased state funding for education, and started both the MCAS testing and graduation requirement and charter schools. Citizens for Public Schools released a report in June on what's happened with our students during those 20 years. The report is online at citizensforpublicschools.org. Citizens for Public Schools will make a short presentation about their report, as well as about the new PARCC tests that will be field tested next spring. I hope you¹ll come and join in the main portion of the evening, an open conversation. I hope to see you there! If you have any questions feel free to call Sara Doherty in my office at 617-722-1578. Thank you. Best, Pat Jehlen State Senator PS. If you don¹t already get my email newsletter, I invite you to subscribe at www.patjehlen.org <http://www.patjehlen.org> . In the most recent archived one are links to previous forums in Winchester and Somerville.
