After more than 60 years following the Brown vs. Education ruling, student outcomes are tied to race, ethnicity, residential differences, and the resources available between affluent and economically disadvantaged schools and districts. We believe that every student should have access to equitable, culturally responsive, and high-quality educational opportunities that lead to success in college, career, and citizenship. 

We strive to work collaboratively to take action toward addressing issues of systemic racism by advocating for structural changes in policy and practice to build an equitable education system that meets the social, emotional, and academic needs of NC’s diverse student population.

Your investment in our work is a commitment to achieving equity, access, and opportunity for each and every young person in North Carolina.

Thank you for championing educational equity & opportunity in North Carolina with us.
