Our work
Community Engagement
If we want to fix the problems with our current education system, we have to work with the people most affected by them. We are holding listening sessions around the country in communities that are grappling with the consequences of school segregation and unfair school funding. Below are the posters we shared at each meeting to set the context for our discussion.
