According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, in the 2020-21 school year, more than a third of students went to a predominantly same-race/ethnicity school, and 14% of students went to schools where the student body was made-up of just a single race/ethnicity. All of this to say, racial division, segregation, and inequity are not issues of the past but pressing issues of today, and unless we work together now, these issues will keep carrying forward into the next generation and the next and the next.
...
But here at Integrated Schools, we understand that the legacy of the past is still directly impacting us today and that’s why we know we must take action now, not tomorrow. We work with families, caregivers, and communities all over the country to help end what was never finished in the past. We work to end segregation, discrimination, and inequity and to build genuine integration today. For us, we must do this work because we believe it is a moral imperative, but this work is just that…work. We are a 100% volunteer organization, and we need your help. Whether it’s donating your time or donating your money, we can’t do this without you.
...
If you’d like to donate your time, we work with each volunteer to customize their schedule so that supporting us fits within your work/life balance, and we customize your volunteer work to the areas of the organization that you feel the most passionate about.
...
And if you’d like to donate your money, we have a simple, easy to use donation page right on our website where you can donate any amount, from a small one time donation to a large ongoing donation and everything in between. Every dollar of support helps us and helps end discrimination and segregation.
...
So if you want to put your values into action, please volunteer with us. Send us a DM or email us at: volunteer@integratedschools.org And if you’d like to donate to us, visit our link in bio. https://buff.ly/3T0ai5x
