If you're in the D.C. area on 9/25, we encourage you to register and join us at 1p.m. to hear from GeDá as she discusses Brown v. Board, modern school segregation, & our work to address school resource inequities.

Visit the website here for more information:

Why? Segregated schools often have fewer resources, harsher discipline, and less experienced teachers.

The silver lining? Poverty doesn’t predestinate students to academic failure. We can integrate and equitably fund schools!

Student A: Grows up in poverty, but attends typical schools ➡️only about 6% less likely to graduate on time

Student B: Grows up in poverty AND attends schools with concentrated poverty ➡️ 30 percentage points less likely to graduate on time.

That’s how we give every child a fair shot at a great education!

This isn’t accidental. School and district lines are often drawn based on poverty and race.

The solution?
✅ Integrated schools
✅ Full and fair funding
✅ Equal access to teachers, curriculum, and other key resources

We’ll discuss the history of magnet programs, how leaders can implement them to fight declining enrollment, and examples of bright spots where they are making an impact!

September 9th, 2025, at 12 pm ET

We hope to see you there!

We're grateful to hear from the students at the heart of our work!

School diversity is not:
❌Illegal (despite what this White House would have you believe!)
