Organizing the power necessary to create racial justice, end the racial and socio-economic segregation of our schools, ensure fair discipline, and eliminate the opportunity gap is how we create Safe, Accountable, Forward, and Equitable (S.A.F.E.) Schools.
How We Work
The S.A.F.E. Schools campaign is moving to push for action and accountability from decision-makers at every level of our educational system, including school and district administrators, local and state elected officials, and the Delaware Department of Education.
We accomplish this by amplifying the voices of those most impacted by historical educational inequities and speaking up to educate stakeholders about the reality of the current state of our school system.
We organize parents, students, and community members. We speak out against injustice and inequality. We demand acknowledgment of and response to the disparities that create barriers for Black, brown, low-income, special education, and students who speak English as a second language.
