Reposted from @mvmnt4blklives

Today, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade, opening the door to statewide bans that will harm Black people disproportionately. Reproductive justice is central to Black liberation, and any limit on abortion access disproportionately harms Black women, girls, transgender, and gender non-conforming people. Black women, girls, transgender, and gender non-conforming people have been subjected to a long history of reproductive control rooted in the brutal legacy of enslavement, and denying access to safe, legal abortion services is a continuation of that troubling history. Self-determination is a key pillar of Black power: the right to maintain our bodily autonomy and make decisions about our families – to have children, to not have children, and to parent the children we already have safely – is essential to our freedom. Ultimately, our freedom comes from the movements we build, not courts. And as a Black liberation movement guided by Black feminist values and committed to abolition, we see the fall of Roe for what it is: another avenue for the state to criminalize and harm the most vulnerable among us. The fall of Roe is painful, but now is a time to stay vigilant and engaged. We have tools at our disposal to resist. Get involved with and donate to your local abortion fund at m4bl.link/AbortionFund and follow the lead of organizations like @blackfeministfuture , @sistersong_woc, @newvoicesrj, and @harrietsdreams to get involved in actions near you.

(2/2) As you may know, Michelle Wonsley-Ford resig

(2/2) As you may know, Michelle Wonsley-Ford resigned from her position as Executive Director at the end of 2021. In nearly two years with the organization, Michelle led the organization with a deep commitment to our community. We deeply appreciate Michelle’s steadfastness, particularly in the face of both unprecedented uncertainty due to the pandemic alongside continued attacks on Black and Brown bodies, minds, and spirits in schools and streets across the U.S. and around the globe. While the board of directors conducts a search for a new Executive Director, I have asked Nicole Rodriguez Leach, CRJE’s former board member and chair, to join the leadership team of the organization during this important period of transition. We are currently welcoming applications to the ED position, so please feel free to share the job description with your networks. To you, CRJE friends and family both old and new, thank you for your trust and partnership. We look forward to all that is to come this year and in the twenty years that will follow! All my best,
Kehinde

(1/2) CRJE Community Message from our Board Chair:

(1/2) CRJE Community Message from our Board Chair: Dear CRJE Community: As we settle fully into 2022, I wanted to share my gratitude for your support and partnership, as well as provide important updates for the organization. Like many of our peer organizations, the Center for Racial Justice in Education faced incredible uncertainty and loss in recent years, and we also experienced energizing rebounds and repair. Today, CRJE’s programs are strong and growing, our staff and trainers are experts in their crafts, members of our board of directors and other advisors are engaged and generative stewards, our partnerships are expanding, and we are progressing from a place of stabilizing to a place of thriving. This year marks CRJE’s 20th anniversary, including when we were known as Border Crossers. From a small, volunteer-run organization working exclusively with students in schools, to an organization with deep NYC roots as well as a national footprint serving educators in all places where children learn, CRJE is anchored by two decades of stellar leadership from five executive directors; the skilled facilitation, creativity, and persistence of nearly 100 employees and trainers; deeply committed board members; and an incredible constellation of interns, volunteers, school and district partners, nonprofit clients, advisors, and donors. We will celebrate this milestone anniversary throughout the year and look forward to a time when we can gather again safely to do so in person. Until then, please look out for acknowledgements, (virtual) activities, and an ask in the coming months.

CRJE is looking for a new Executive Director to le

CRJE is looking for a new Executive Director to lead our organization, now in its 20th year. Racial injustice is embedded in our nation's history, implemented in our policies and practices, and even now, racist language is part of the commonplace rhetoric of many leaders. This consistently affects all our children, with many teachers uncomfortable and unprepared, and some under threat, to address race and racism in their classrooms. Beyond that, few school systems provide ongoing, specific professional development to give educators the tools they need to guide their students through these turbulent times. In recent years, CRJE has rapidly evolved in response to the overall increase in local and national racially conscious conversations and the growing demand for racial justice in schools and schooling. This has resulted in exciting partnerships with school districts, major foundations, and expanded programming. Today, CRJE is looking for a dynamic, passionate, and collaborative Executive Director who is a field leader, advocate, and spokesperson for racial justice and coalition building to lead the Center. Ideal candidates are energized to operate in complex and complicated environments. They also excel in managing change in a fast-paced social, political, and cultural landscape, and bring significant experience in organization building and advancement. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will set and implement the strategic vision and model, continue building the organization’s infrastructure, team and culture, expand and diversify philanthropic revenue opportunities, oversee the strengthening of CRJE’s programming, and lead and support a diverse and multi-racial team currently of three full-time staff, several external consultants, and roughly 50 national trainers who work on the frontlines for racial justice in education. The Executive Director position is an opportunity to truly shape the organization and deepen its impact to transform education by creating and strengthening networks of anti-racist educators nationwide.
