New Yorkers for Racially Just Public Schools

New Yorkers for Racially Just Public Schools (RJPS) is a citywide education justice coalition aimed at centering racial equity in policy and budget decisions for public education. Led by parents, students, educators, and advocates, we are working to influence the city and state education budget as well as policy decisions regarding schooling. We are paying particular attention to the education narrative and policy agenda for the 2021 Mayoral and City Council elections. The survival, resilience, and transformation of the school system in the midst of our current multiple pandemics will require ongoing visioning, public engagement, organizing and advocacy on a large scale. We are committed to making this possible.
