A new partnership to support community organizing
Recently SDEA leaders collaborated on a grant with one of our community partners, the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE). ACCE has been a partner through the Education Justice Coalition, fighting alongside SDEA members for shared priorities like community schools and housing supports. Through a Community Organizing Grant from the CTA Institute For Teaching (IFT), ACCE has designated funding to support SDEA with community organizing. This is a great opportunity to learn from ACCE organizers who’ve successfully engaged with communities to identify shared goals and turn them into action.
