On June 15th, Justice Matters' “Voices on the Ground: Connecting parents, students and activists to national education policy” brought together parents of color, community organizers and policy analysts to critically discuss the Elementary & Secondary Education Act (ESEA) also known as No Child Left Behind. The event was hosted at the National Education Association offices.
From the morning panel, to the work group meeting and finally at our Justice Matters’ Happy Hour at the local DC Busboys & Poets CafĂ©, community activists, policy professionals, parents and other education professionals met, networked, formed new relationships and strengthened old ones.
Community organizers, parents, policy analysts, and teachers came from around the country to participate:
One distinct message came through loud and clear: in order for public schools to become healthy, strong centers for all students we must connect community voice and racial justice to education policy and politics.
The DC convening was a first step in filling a huge void – the need for parents of color, policy analysts, and community organizers to come together and build a consensus on what our students need.
So stay tuned for more opportunities to work together in making racial justice and community engagement a reality in education policy.
