Learning for Justice Magazine

In promoting diversity and fighting racism, inclusive education programs forged pathways toward building equitable societies. Now, as our nation confronts multiple assaults on democratic values, we hold firm in the fight to protect—and to expand—democracy through social justice education.

Current censorship efforts and attacks on inclusive schools demonstrate that education is indeed the battlefield for justice. And, as Learning for Justice Director Jalaya Liles Dunn contends, “The treatment of children from communities experiencing systemic oppressions—those at the intersection of race, gender, poverty and geography—will determine the fate of our democracy.”

This issue highlights the fact that the fight for democracy is built on intersecting struggles for justice and calls upon us to use our individual strengths to work collectively toward advancing the human rights of all people by advocating for one another in education and in all sectors of society.
