What is Education Justice?
Education justice refers to the equitable distribution of learning resources and educational opportunities.
Our friends at Advancement Project define education justice as working toward “a future where Black, Latine, and other students of color experience a liberatory education system: one where they have self-determination, power, dignity, and freedom. Liberatory education is rooted in a framework of moving from abolition to abundance…defending our public schools from divestment, takeover, privatization, and closures, and moving towards community control.”
Southern Poverty Law Center believes “every child in the United States has a right to an equitable public education. Public schools play a crucial role in our democracy, providing the literacy, critical thinking skills and common-good values essential for participation in the democratic process. Education is not only an individual endeavor for career or economic gain but also a collective effort for community and national progress.”
Our work in education justice includes:
+providing a free, accessible, high quality after school program.
+providing free supplies, workshops, and consultations to public schools in our community.
+creating relevant, justice-centered curriculum for schools, students, educators, and families.
+posting free, uncolonized and abolitionist educational content on our social media.
+providing free transportation for our scholars to get to school.
+joining campaigns that fight for public schools.
+advocating for our scholars in their schools.
We know that succeeding in the classroom is crucial to succeeding in life. We are constantly refining our pedagogy in order to equip our scholars to be highly literate, independent thinkers who love learning and are academically strong. We work with our scholars to ensure they earn their high school diploma, develop a love for learning. We believe in and work towards high quality, free, public education as a national priority.
