Massachusetts Education Justice Alliance

We are a coalition of organizations led by students, parents, educators, school staff, and concerned community members who are directly affected by public education in Massachusetts. Together, we are building a racial and educational justice movement centering the most impacted communities. Our vision is that all students, regardless of income, race, gender, identity, religion, birthplace, or abilities, have access to high-quality, equitable, and democratically controlled public education that addresses the educational needs of the whole student and where every student thrives to reach their full potential.

MEJA is committed to elevating student and parent voices, in collaboration with educators, school and college staff, and unions, on racial equity issues including but not limited to state takeovers, public higher education, high-stakes testing, school discipline policy/school policing, inclusive ethnic studies curriculum, workers and civil rights, and the rights of all education stakeholders.

We believe that to meet our mission, we must both grow the movement from the ground up while supporting an active statewide coalition.
