Students for Educational Justice (SEJ) Details
Students for Educational Justice is a youth-led, intergenerational organizing body that drives racial and educational justice and cultivates self-pride in young BIPOC. Since 2017, SEJ has challenged the oppressive systems under which our society operates. We envision a just education system and an equitable society in which all people understand the historyof race in the United States, and are actively committed to dismantling systematic racism and other forms of oppression. We consider "youth" and "young people" to mean high school-aged students and recent high school graduates. SEJ hosts political education and organizing- related trainings for new and experienced student organizers about institutional racism, adultism, anti-Blackness, and other oppressive systems, as well as practices such as one-on-one meetings. This year, Students for Educational Justice collaborated with legislators and our fellow youth-led, intergenerational organizations from across the state to get HB7082, an act concerning the inclusion of Black and Latinx studies in the Public School Curriculum, signed into law. It is now entitled Public Act 19-12. We are looking forward to continuing this work and to expanding to new issue areas as determined by our members.
