Marching the Path to Education Justice in 2026
Public education, from birth through college, has always been at the heart of the fight for civil rights in this country. Today, perhaps more than ever, child care and public education is the battleground for the liberation of all people. They are key pillars of a just society, the surest path to dignity and opportunity for all. Underfunding child care and public education has been the most commonly used tool to deny an equal education to Black and brown children, immigrant children, and working class children, as well as to deny opportunities to dismantle racism and generational poverty, while upholding structures benefiting white supremacy.
Education justice is not just about what happens in the classroom, but about what can happen in a society where all children – regardless of race, class, or status – have all the opportunities to learn, grow, and, ultimately, lead the way for a brighter future.
From birth to graduation, here is how we will be fighting for education justice for New York’s children in 2026.
