Over the last 50 years, math education in the U.S. has produced inequitable — and often dismal — results. Despite these unchanging statistics, math education tends to focus on standardized test scores over the development of practical skills. Megan Staples, a researcher and math educator, offers suggestions for making math education more successful and equitable at the link below. https://lnkd.in/gt6YtvRk

MSC provides values-aligned infrastructure for BIPOC and women-led organizations.
About us
MSC provides values-aligned infrastructure for BIPOC and women-led organizations at the intersection of racial inequity and environmental justice. We put love at the center and embody the values and spirit of our partners. Our mission is to provide values aligned, holistic intermediary services enabling access to crucial infrastructure and thought partnership for BIPOC, women, and LGBTQIA movement leaders, activists, and communities challenging intersectional issues of systemic racism, rampant environmental destruction, and crippling economic exploitation. We are unique in that we do not operate as a singular organization but as a collective ecosystem incubating and accelerating the work of our partner projects, which speaks to our values of radical interdependence and love. Our vision is of a Just Transition from a world of domination, extraction, and violence — where the few live at the expense of the many — to a world of interdependence, liberation, and resilience — where the many govern for the benefit of all. We understand that a Just Transition is only possible when the voices of BIPOC, women, and GNC leaders are honored, celebrated, and amplified, not merely tolerated.

Mohammed Barkindo, the late secretary general of OPEC, called climate activists the "greatest threat" to the oil industry. Esme Hyatt and Sim Bilal are youth climate activists wearing that label with pride. In this piece for Nonprofit Quarterly, they write about the challenges the youth climate justice movement faces, and share seven ways philanthropic funding — of which less than 2% is currently dedicated to climate change action — can support their efforts.
