On November 30, AQE will be hosting our second annual #GivingTuesday Telethon, bringing together parents, advocates, community members, and supporters to help us spread the word about AQE — and to help us recruit new recurring donors to support our work.

This year, we won the fight that AQE was founded 21 years ago to win: the fight for adequate and equitable resources for New York’s low income Black and Brown children. But the fight for equity does not stop here. AQE will continue to be on the front lines advocating for students: in working to reform school discipline codes, for culturally responsive curricula and police-free schools, for better access to childcare and universal pre-K for working families.

Monthly gifts are one of the most important ways that you, our donors, help us sustain our work throughout the year. As you begin to plan your end of the year giving, we hope you remember AQE and the fight for education justice — or you can help us get a jump start on our Giving Tuesday goal by making a monthly commitment to AQE today.
