What would freedom in our schools look like? As we What would freedom in our schools look like? As we grapple with an ongoing pandemic and civil rights uprisings nationwide against the murder of Black people, we are faced with the reality that the future of schooling will not and cannot look the same. How do we as educators foster spaces and create institutions that allow our Black and brown children to be free? How do we move towards an abolitionist future where our communities are fully invested in, and not towards the police system that further perpetuates the school to prison pipeline? Imagining this future has always been urgent, and now more than ever as people have been empowered to take to the streets and demand justice at such a large, sustained scale. We encourage our community to tune into @haymarketbooks online webinar on “Abolitionist Teaching and the Future of Our Schools” and their teach-in tonight. Learn more about #8ToAbolition (from @criticalresistance) and how these demands can create a liberated future and schooling for our children. RSVP link available in our bio link, along with the webinar recording link!
Hello to our community and all of our new supporte Hello to our community and all of our new supporters in racial justice. We’ve seen the flood of new followers, messages, re-shares, tags, and donations that have come our way this past week. We are extremely grateful for you all and your fierce commitment to racial justice wherever children learn. Below is a message, the first of many to come, from our Executive Director, Michelle Wonsley-Ford. . . Beloved Community, I am writing this to you after days of silence, days of opting out of the social media crush of news, and triggering images. I have written and rewritten this email several times at this point. I worry that there is something to say that CRJE hasn’t been sharing, or that you’ve not seen elsewhere by now. However, if you’ve not seen CRJE’s resource guide recently, engage with it again. Send it to people in your life who are struggling with how to have ‘the conversation.’ Beyond that, as a queer black woman Executive Director, I don’t have my usual capacity to write ‘the email’ that I am obligated to send ‘in times like these.’ Instead, I’ve chosen to write a letter to the only person to whom I feel compelled to provide support and understanding right now - my six-year-old son: . . #racialjustice #racialequity #equity #dismantleracism #blacklivesmatter #blackchildrenmatter #blackkidsmatter

One of our long-standing CRJE trainers and former One of our long-standing CRJE trainers and former DOE educator, Steve, has this to say about why he does this work: . “...I was an early childhood educator for thirty years, and am passionate about reading children's literature with other educators through a critical antiracist lens, so that we can ensure that our all of our young people, black, white, Latinx, Asian, indigenous, and multiracial, have access to many books in their classrooms that provide a mirror of their own lived experience, and a window into the experiences of others. . Giving Tuesday may have passed, but it’s still not too late to support the work of CRJE.

“How do we create a world reflective of our high “How do we create a world reflective of our highest values?” At the Center for Racial Justice in Education (CRJE), we are grappling with this question as we try to reimagine what life after COVID-19 will be like for students in our communities. Arundhati Roy’s words about the status quo from her recent piece, “The Pandemic is the Portal” speaks to the ways in which we are obligated to move with urgency from this moment into the future.Now is the time to think critically, and to actively disrupt what our society has normalized: racism, systemic oppression, lack of access to resources, and disempowerment.We can’t return to that world, and if we’re committed to a racially equitable future for all children, we shouldn’t want to.Instead, with your help, we will dismantle patterns of injustice by equipping educators, parents, and community members with the tools to disrupt racism wherever children learn. CRJE is leading the effort to engage educators and parents in critical analysis to facilitate important conversations and provide online tools to promote equity in all its forms.
