As Community Education Council President for District 14 I am an elected parent leader serving as a liaison between district school communities and the Department of Education. For us this has meant honest and uncomfortable conversations about bias in the district- particularly anti Blackness and transphobia- and the ways all forms of discrimination show up in the classroom and school community when we don’t collectively commit to naming and unlearning the ways we’ve been socialized to penalize difference and protect the inequitable status quo.
As a steering committee member of both Black Lives Matter at School NY and Parents for Responsive Equitable Safe Schools (PRESS NYC) and a healing centered schools task force member, I organize at the intersection of DOE, city and state accountability, educational equity, parent power and racial/ economic/ disability and language justice. Check out these groups on my media page.
