NEA-Las Cruces' Social Justice Action Team believes that our education system is intended to uphold equal opportunity, but too often it also entrenches racial disparities by its design. We are engaging educators, students and community allies to foster real dialogue around issues of racial justice in education and to mobilize and take action for education justice! JOIN US! Ready to make change to recognize the contributions of Dreamers with a path to citizenship? Ready to take action to address and change the policies in our schools and communities that feed the school to prison pipeline?

Ready to create positive, safe and affirming school environments so that kids don’t have to face hate, bias and harassment at school?
