Black Joy Consortium for Reimagining Education 2023 Platform Priorities

New York

EdTrust–New York is a statewide education policy and advocacy organization focused first and foremost on doing right by New York’s children. Although many organizations speak up for the adults employed by schools and colleges, we advocate for students, especially those whose needs and potential are often overlooked.

West

EdTrust–West is committed to dismantling the racial and economic barriers embedded in the California education system. Through our research and advocacy, EdTrust-West engages diverse communities dedicated to education equity and justice and increases political and public will to build an education system where students of color and multilingual learners, especially those experiencing poverty, will thrive.

Massachusetts

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.

The Black Joy Consortium is aligned to a vision for a reimagined education system that fully prepares Black students to thrive in life and the workforce as a means toward equitable educational outcomes for all students in Washington state. To that end, the Consortium has recognized six key areas centered on the social-emotional health, wellness, and healing as foundational to improving the educational outcomes for Black students.

These six priorities serve as the coalition’s official platform for advocacy, policy interventions, and continued learning. We believe that intentional advancements in each of the six priorities will create the necessary conditions for student success and help achieve the desired outcomes for Black students and families.
