Transform Education for Black Lives:

Turning Knowledge into Action from Diapers to Diplomas

Friday, September 10, 2021⠀|⠀9 a.m. - Noon PDT

It’s not enough to talk about it. It’s time to act.

Join the Los Angeles Education Partnership and innovative educational leaders for a dynamic panel discussion and breakout sessions to answer the crucial question, “How can I become an agent of change in dismantling systems of racial inequity for Black students and families in the early ed and K-12 world?” School leaders, early childhood administrators, and systems change practitioners nationwide will learn how to strengthen equity practices and remove barriers to foster communities that honor the voices of BIPOC students, parents, and staff.

Let’s build this critical capacity together!
