Together We Can Reimagine Public Education
Public education has systemic flaws that have tragic outcomes for the lives of Black, Brown, and Indigenous students, and students who are living in poverty.
We are calling on everyone to shift the conversation to focus on:

OUR IMPACT

And create access to critical resources, like food, housing, healthcare, counseling and remote technologies so they can take charge of the future they want for themselves, their communities, and each other.
