Help us bring about racially just
schools! Your gift enables us to be an independent
organization that can take bold action for racial justice
in education. We will use your contribution to bring about
education policies that fully develop the potential of low-income
students of color and their communities.
Thank you for supporting Justice Matters!

Justice Matters is working for policies that
not only keep students in school, but help them unleash the
full potential of what they can offer themselves and others.
We work for policies that enable schools to collaborate with
families and the community to build a strong web of support
around each student that gives them the help they need. Policies
that prepare schools to build on the knowledge and language
skills that each student brings. That enable schools to inspire
students’ curiosity, awaken their desire to challenge
themselves, and identify where their passions lie.
*Justice Matters thanks POOR Magazine media studies interns
Angel and D’Shawn for allowing us to share their stories.

| "Two things give young people a sense
of who they are—roots and wings. A sense of worth through
connection to their own language and a sense of possibilities
by developing another language. We are developing children who
can bridge across and move between."
-Ana O'Neill, excerpted from And
Still We Speak, California Tomorrow
