Equity Alliance MN

Equity Alliance MN’s Executive Director Sebastian Witherspoon presenting alongside Dr. Melissa Erickson and Dr. Jessica Murphy of @flintconsult at the Minnesota Association of School Administrators Spring Conference on Equity and Trauma.

We believe it’s our differences that make us a stronger community. We embrace diversity to build communities today, tomorrow, and of the future!

March is #WomensHistoryMonth! Let us take a moment not just today, or during March, but everyday to acknowledge and honor the contributions of women like Maya Angelou. We solute courageous women who have dedicated their lives to creating a more equitable world.

Each month we convene district leaders to engage in conversations about the purpose and necessity of equity work. We can learn so much from each other and we appreciate the partnership of districts as we work to eliminate gaps in E-21 educational opportunity and achievement.

May we honor Dr. King’s life in both reflection and in action, not just today, but every day. And may we continue to celebrate his legacy by boldly standing up for what is right and what is just.

As Martin Luther King Jr. said “No one may forsake their neighbors when they are in trouble. Everybody is under obligation to help and support their neighbors as they would themselves like to be helped."

We should always do what is right: help others when we can, lead with integrity, and be an example of the best version of ourselves! #mlkday 🧵

Equality says we treat everyone the same, regardless of headwinds or tailwinds. Equity says we give people what they need to have the same access & opportunities as others, taking into account the headwinds they face, which may mean differential treatment for some groups.
