“Throughout America’s history, education has served as a catalyst for social and economic mobility, especially for disadvantaged populations. But education change movements are not just in history books or museums. Ensuring quality education for all remains one of the most important civil rights issues of our day. And change is happening now.

Collective impact partnerships in communities across the country have shown that the hope for education equity can become reality. Communities are illuminating disparities, shifting student supports and testing ways to improve. Opportunity gaps are closing, education outcomes are improving and communities are changing.

Let’s build on this momentum and sustain the movement. Join fellow change champions and equity advocates to get equipped, empowered and energized to continue changing systems in support of every student.”
