Abolish ACS Day of Action
On Friday November 26th, 2021 I had the pleasure of working with JMAC For Families, Parents Supporting Parents, Youth Alliance 4 Housing, I Am Queens, Parents for Responsive Equitable Safe Schools with the support of D14 Revolution to create a digital day of action and in person healing space in response to the administration of children’s services long history of disproportionately targeting Black, Latino and immigrant families and caregivers to children with disabilities And how this has bled into targeted harassment of families of color keeping children home due to Covid concerns.
Restore Remote
Healing Centered Schools Task Force
Healing Centered Schools Task Force
Since May 2021, families, educators, elected leaders and most importantly our students- have been calling for an improved, equitable and sustainable remote option for our immunocompromised, disabled and deeply impacted students, staff and city workers. As omicron enters NYC and schools surpass 11,000 confirmed Covid cases- we continue to demand a culturally responsive, language accessible remote option complete with the WiFi access, devices and tech accessories students and staff require as well as appropriate training and tech support.
