Ed Trust in Massachusetts
Who We Are & What We Do
The Education Trust team in Massachusetts convenes and supports the Massachusetts Education Equity Partnership (MEEP), a collective effort of more than 20 social justice, civil rights and education organizations from across the Commonwealth working together to promote educational equity for historically underserved students in our state’s schools.
Together we:
- Draw attention to educational inequities in Massachusetts
- Advocate for policies and practices that improve opportunity and outcomes for students of color, linguistically diverse students, students from economically disadvantaged families, and students with disabilities
- Work alongside students, families, and communities to build urgency and collective will for educational equity and justice
