This panel highlights the role of parents and communities of color in building an educational justice movement, particularly through the lens of historic inequities that still exist in pubic education 60 years after the historic Brown vs. Board decision. Panelists will lift up stories of strategies for building community and parent leadership as featured in the book, "Lift us up Don’t push us out!: Voices from the front lines of the educational justice movement”, parent led campaigns to end zero tolerance school discipline policies and to advocate for restorative justice and police free schools, and experiences with systemic denial and disparities in course offerings for black and brown students.
