#WeCantWait: A Call to Action for Ed Equity This is not a presentation, listening session, city-wide plan, or workshop. #WeCantWait is a Call to Action for people to get to WORK on the things we know will make a difference in education. Only 13% of Black kids are reading on grade level. Attend to join one of the following committees to help attain educational equity and excellence in St. Louis Tuesday, April 23rd, University City Public Library, 6701 Delmar Blvd from 6:30-8:00 PM With only 13% of Black children reading on grade level our city schools are in a crisis. The results of this decades-long crisis can be seen in the poverty, violence, homelessness, and incarceration rates of our city. Children who struggle to read struggle to succeed. They have less opportunities for employment and college and so are more attractive candidates for crime and violence. We have known this for decades but have become hopeless that this will actually ever change. RSVP Here: https://lnkd.in/gButZiQc
