Because anti-Black racism is systemic, it can often feel too big for us to disrupt as individuals. But even the biggest changes begin with small steps.

Adding your voice and your action to the work to dismantle anti-Black racism in our schools makes a difference.

Here are 3 ways Educators, Educational Leaders, and Community Partners can create more equitable outcomes in our schools [THREAD]:

1). Pay attention to trends in your schools and boards.
Take an equity-based approach by focusing on who is experiencing disproportionality and disparity (both in the student body and faculty) #accompliceforequity

2). Disrupt whenever you see/hear something and demand justice. Racism thrives in silence; if you see it, do not allow it to continue unchecked. #accompliceforequity

3). Hold yourself in healthy distrust Frequently challenge your own ideas and privilege; remember that equity work is not about perfection, it is a continuous practice. #accompliceforequity
