Education Equity
Parents and youth have the wisdom and power to lead, shape, and transform our education system. We organize in coalition with community partners, and uplift parent leadership through our training cohorts.
Our priorities:
Ensuring students of color are represented and supported in the classroom
Disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline
Growing the skills and support networks of parents of color

Education Equity Parent Fellowship
Parents of color are coming together to support each other and their students, and to defend education equity.
For over five years, our Education Equity Parent Fellowship has equipped BIPOC parents and caregivers with the skills, knowledge, and community needed to navigate education systems and advocate for our children.

Resources for action
The Pathway to Education Equity requires the participation of community stakeholders, including students and parents, the commitment of school leaders, and a sustainable process that leads to transformative change. This framework informs that path, offering a guide that addresses racial disparities in schools through an intentional process of assessment, inquiry, developing and implementing solutions, and measuring progress.
