Understanding Racial Justice in SFUSD

This is a virtual event

Please join us for a panel discussion on racial equity in San Francisco Unified School District. While San Francisco remains one of the most progressive cities in the US, SFUSD has struggled to provide opportunities for its students of color, particularly Black and Brown students. In this panel, we will explore how anti-racism in public schooling will lead to better outcomes for all students.

Our panelists include:
Carolyn Nguyen, Chinese Progressive Association Lead Youth Organizer
Sharif Zakout, Arab Resource & Organizing Center Lead Organizer
Jeremiah Jeffries, Teachers for Social Justice
Alison Collins, SFUSD School Board Commissioner

About Donations:

80% of donations go directly to our speakers or their organizations; 20% goes to SURJ SF, Action Network, and our fiscal sponsor to cover internal organizing costs (Zoom accounts, speaker honorariums, credit card processing fees).

Tickets for this seminar are offered on a sliding scale that takes into account your financial situation and circumstances. The higher end of the scale is intended for those with stable incomes, those who own homes, and those with the ability to save. Your ability to support at the higher end allows this seminar to offer sliding scale tuition! The lower end of the scale is intended for students, and others who are getting by but don’t have much extra in their budget. If you find yourself between these two examples, we suggest a mid-range rate.

For those with little-to-no income, especially in these difficult economic times, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Reach out to us at surjsfbasebuilding@gmail.com for a complimentary ticket.
