Dear John ,
By now, you've heard a lot about our HEAL Together initiative, an
expanding movement in school districts across the United States that is
being led by courageous individuals who want to safeguard honest,
equitable, fully-funded public education.
We're asking for your support
[link removed]
in our efforts to provide training, resources, tools and strategies to
organizers across the country who are fighting to preserve the gains of
the civil rights movement. These organizers are teachers, school board
members, parents, and students - not to mention community members like
you and me.
"A great friend of mine once told me that often times we grow to become
who we once needed. And, during my public school experience, I needed
someone who would advocate for my peers and I."
Myla Williams, speaking at Race Forward's Facing Race Conference,
November 2022

As a student in southwest Atlanta, Myla has personal experience with the
lack of resources and opportunities afforded to students in specific zip
codes. As the Chief of Staff for the Georgia Youth Justice Coalition
[link removed]
, a HEAL Together partner, she's helped implement significant
initiatives to give students access to everything from mental health
resources to recreational partnerships.
Using HEAL Together tools and support, Myla and her peers are fighting
for public schools that will provide all young people with the resources
they need to thrive. And they're winning - restoring millions of dollars
in public education funding, securing representative maps, protecting
LGBTQ+ youth, and so much more.
Your support is needed and important to help Myla and so many other HEAL
Together partners like her.

It is going to take all of us, together, to protect the most vulnerable
among us and build a future where young people can access the promise of
an equitable, quality public education for all.
Join us
[link removed]
in making this vision a reality.
En solidaridad,
Marina Muñoz de Martínez
Director of Development & Partnerships
P.S. To learn more, RSVP to attend

Together team, hear firsthand accounts from youth organizers, and learn
