@eec-wa.bsky.social
The Equity in Education Center (EEC) works to advance equity in education, foster civic engagement, and advocate for students and communities of color, Native Americans, refugees and immigrants, and the formerly incarcerated.  
This #GiveBIG, we’re asking you to join us in fighting for a public education system that truly serves every child.

From ending isolation in public preschools to expanding access to tech, the Equity in Education Center is leading bold, statewide change—and we’re just getting started.

📢ACTION ALERT: Urge the Senate Ways & Means Committee to include funding for ending isolation and reducing restraint. The House budget includes $4 million to continue this critical work, but the Senate budget does not.

We are devastated by the tragic loss of 12-year-old Arsema Mekonnen. Our deepest condolences go out to the student’s family, friends, and school community as they mourn this heartbreaking and unimaginable loss.

We are also outraged by Seattle Public Schools’ (SPS) failure to respond appropriately.

📢 WA’s education system is underfunded, but now we have an opportunity to work with the community, researchers, and policymakers to go from an underfunded system to one that finally works for each and every child. We cannot afford to go backward. 1/2

At the EEC, we believe every child deserves access to quality education regardless of race, zip code, or family income level.

We are on a mission to build an education system where every student thrives—but to get there, we need your help.
