SAFE RETURN TO SCHOOLS

The Safe Return to Schools Committee was created to support educators during COVID and to inform educators and the public about what a safe school/ workplace looks like and to organize around not returning until those safety measures are in place.

The goal of the committee is to inform and help organize around safety (particularly COVID) in schools.

RACIAL EQUITY

The Racial Equity committee was created to ensure the voices of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) educators and students are amplified within the work of NEU. We believe anti-racist education is core to developing the future we all deserve.

Meetings: Mondays at 4:00 PM PST (not every week)


BUILDING STATEWIDE GROUPS

FIGHTING AUSTERITY

The Fighting Austerity committee is committed to clarifying the political issues behind our under- funded schools, researching what world-class funding looks like, identifying sources of revenue, and promoting strategies to achieve these goals.
