Join us as we hear and learn from the Massachusetts Education Justice Alliance (MEJA) on Wednesday, April 8th 5-6pm. MEJA will provide an overview of their work and how you are structured with time for questions.
The Massachusetts Education Justice Alliance is a coalition of organizations led by students, parents, educators, school staff, and concerned community members who are directly affected by public education in Massachusetts. They are committed to elevating student and parent voices, in collaboration with educators, school and college staff, and unions, on racial equity issues.
Their key issues:
Fully fund public education
Secure a once in a generation opportunity for sustainable funding
Provide debt-free public higher education
Less testing, more learning
Demand living wage and paid family & medical leave for all workers
Ensure educators & staff have a voice at work
End the school-to-prison pipeline
Build a movement for racial justice
