Announcements for January 21-25, 2019
Citizenship Quotes for the week:
- "To be a good citizen, its important to be able to put yourself in other people's shoes and see the big picture. If everything you see is rooted in your own identity, that becomes difficult or impossible." - Eli Pariser
- "I am a legal immigrant whose parents went from Russia to China to Chile to finally reach the United States and thereby give me a chance to have a better life. I served six years in the U.S. Army Reserve, went to college, have a successful career and have dedicated my life to being a good citizen." - Mike Medavoy
- "I think its easier than ever to hear only what you want to hear. That doesn't make a good citizen." - Eli Pariser
