I know what it's like to access the privilege of a ZIP Code but also be born in one that could have destined me to something else.
Education is important. And the difference of the zip code you grow up in or the zip code you are born in and how you turn out really isn't fair to the kids of our world.
Access to equal opportunity should not be constrained by zip-code.
In order for us [people] to progress, we need brilliance and brilliance isn't fair and it's not polite and we can't grow it. It happens. Genius happens and it doesn't always happen in a zip code where we can access it. Therefore, we kind of need [Internet] not to keep tabs on everybody but we need to give them access to everybody else.
Often in America, access to the freedoms and privileges guaranteed under the Constitution are determined by ZIP code.
Above all, I believe every child, no matter their ZIP code or their parents' jobs, deserves access to a quality education.
Regardless of their parent's income or zip code, every child in Georgia deserves access to a high-quality, affordable education.
No child's future should ever be dictated by what zip code they were born in.
Every student - no matter their family income or zip code - deserves access to an education that prepares them to lead successful careers.
I feel like I was born to do this... I started working professionally as soon as I could, doing weddings and things like that in high school, while everyone else was having keg parties. I just felt destined to do it and really committed and driven; it was something that just felt right all my life.
Your zip code or your income level should not dictate your access to healthy drinking water.
I'm a liberal, I was born a liberal, I'll be one 'til I die, what else should a reporter be when you see so much and when we have such great privilege and access to the truth?
Yes, racism looks like hate, but hate is just one manifestation. Privilege is another. Access is another. Ignorance is another. Apathy is another, and so on. So while I agree with people who say no one is born racist, it remains a powerful system that we're immediately born into. It's like being born into air: you take it in as soon as you breathe.
I was born in a place where your ZIP code determines your destiny.
It's kind of a catch-22 now because since the 'Da Vinci Code,' I have access to places and people that I didn't have access to before, so that's a lot of fun for somebody like me, but I'm always trying to keep a secret. I don't want people to know what I'm writing about.
I insist on the dignity and God- given potential and work of every child, regardless of race or gender or sexual orientation or what zip code they were born in.
I believe that the key to building a strong economy in Wisconsin starts with education. Every single kid in our state deserves access to a good public education, no matter their zip code.
