Today marks the first day of Ramadan, the holiest month of the year for Muslims. In the spirit of Ramadan, may we honor and celebrate the inherent dignity and worth of all people. Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed #Ramadan from CRJE. #RamadanKareem #ramadanmubarak

For #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor the contributions of women educators who have fought and advocated for a better world for the children under their care and we affirm that every child—across race and gender—should feel valued, respected and safe.

Public Education funding in the U.S. already is inadequate to create equal opportunity for all students. @AFTunion president Randi Weingarten calls on lawmakers to act now to avert a fiscal cliff when federal pandemic aid expires this fall. aft.org/column/funding…

School districts with mostly students of color on average receive substantially less (16%) state and local revenue than districts with the fewest students of color. Together, let’s disrupt educational inequities and create a future worthy of our children: bit.ly/3uzYH2S

In an effort to be affirming, reflective, and critical about how we approach and celebrate holidays as school communities, we have updated our list of culturally sustaining and anti-racist educational resources and conversation guides: bit.ly/3UuqhFP

We proudly joined over 260 #nonprofits in @NonprofitNY's #WHY15 campaign to push for greater transparency and accountability regarding the City’s budget cuts. Read our testimony here: bit.ly/crjewhy15 #carenotcuts

If you are an #educator or school leader who is seeking more support in your commitment to #racialjustice, or know someone who is, we invite you to learn more about CARE and register on our website. We have limited scholarships available. bit.ly/crjecare

Last year, you helped us partner with 24 educational institutions in 5 states, where we trained 1,811 educators and reached over 14,000 youth! This #GivingTuesday, donate to CRJE and make a difference in the lives of thousands of youth. centerracialjustice.org/ways-to-give/?…

In the face of a massive retrenchment in racial justice funding and budget cuts to schools and community services across the country, inequities in education continue to persist. Support CRJE this giving season. centerracialjustice.org/ways-to-give/?…

Our resource guide for educators and families on #Thanksgiving includes narratives that uplift the perspectives and contributions of the Native American community. centerracialjustice.org/resources/than…

People like to flatten teacher work, but please believe: After everything I'm witnessing and experiencing, I don't believe that every teacher sees their work in the same way or should see it the same way, either. But that should make educators want to build *more* community.

At CRJE, we believe that #antiracism work is best done in community. That's why we are excited to re-launch the Community of Anti-Racist Educators (CARE) program for school-based #educators. Visit our website to learn more and fill out our interest form: centerracialjustice.org/care/

Thank you for your support of CRJE and the communities we serve during the last school year! With your continued support, we can deepen our impact by reaching more schools and engaging in more long-term partnerships to create institutional change. bit.ly/3IOPVC8
