Our exploratory committee for a CT DSA Education Justice Working Group might be for you! We are writing as a cohort of DSA members taking the lead to explore coordinated education justice organizing in CT DSA. We hope to meet and explore plans, capacity, and strategic directions, as socialists involved in public education in one capacity or another. This initiative follows a resolution passed at CT DSA’s last General Assembly in December, which directs CT DSA members interested in education justice organizing to meet, discuss, and produce a report detailing opportunities for strategic organizing in this area. This working group can entail organizing including, but not limited to: Supporting public education unions, such as the American Federation of Teachers Connecticut (AFT-CT), in protecting public education from budget cuts and privatization by the charter school lobby Addressing the statewide teacher staff shortage Supporting public school students organizing across the state to advocate for their needs Advocating for the Green New Deal for Public Schools campaign Protecting the right to intellectual freedom in educational institutions Promoting access to education and information as a human right If the Education Justice Working Group interests you, please fill out the following interest survey, and we will be in touch with more information. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/ct-dsa-education-justice-working-group-interest-form
