Last April, we won a crucial victory for the children of New York with the state’s historic commitment to fully fund our public schools. Join AQE on August 14 as we come together for a community celebration of this transformational moment for New York’s students and public schools!
Save the date: Saturday, August 14, 2021
Education Justice Block Party | Washington Heights
We will be returning to where it all started: Washington Heights, where in 1992 Robert Jackson and other parents filed the original Campaign for Fiscal Equity lawsuit against the state of New York — kicking off the decades-long fight for adequate and equitable resources for New York’s low income Black and Brown children.
There will be speakers, music, food, and fun for all ages. More details including exact time and location to come!
This is the fight that AQE was founded over twenty years ago to win. Generations of parents, community leaders and students across New York State — those who, year after year, led the advocacy to hold New York to the promise of a sound, basic education for every child — made this win possible. It is proof of the power of the people, the power of never giving up and the power of "we."
We hope you can join us!
