AREAS OF FOCUS

Today's a very special day for us. We'll be at the LA County Board of Supervisors meeting of the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations as they will be honoring our work. We can't say more, just that we'll be going live on Facebook at 10:00 AM, so ...stay tuned!

California's recent college admissions scandals demonstrate how privilege and power afford some students the ability to enter a "side door" to access opportunities while many of our state's Black, Latinx, and low-income students remain unfairly locked out of the front entrance. Join over 60 civil rights and education organizations in demanding that the @CAGovernor and @LosAngelesSchools leaders prioritize K-12 educational equity.

The time has come again for us to step up and stand with our immigrant families. As the new school year starts, let’s stand together to make it clear that this mean-spirited attack against families that need support does not match the values that this country was built on. #ProtectImmigrantFamilies

Para lograr que nuestros hijos hablen y escriban en dos idiomas, es importante que aprendan en programas bilingües. www.alasyvoz.org #éxito #oportunidad #sueños
