Building our collective capacity as anti-racist educators.
building our collective capacity as anti-racist educators through activism, advocacy & outreach
Educators are uniquely situated to address racism through institutional change and by supporting the self-advocacy of students, families, and communities. We are committed to practicing ongoing reflection about our own racial identities and engaging in dialogue about the systemic racism in our schools and communities.
history of eis
Educators in Solidarity formed in 2014 after the murder of Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO. Surrounding his murder, there was a national call out for teachers to build curriculum and to talk about police brutality in schools. As time went on, EIS has evolved with a growing understanding of the specific needs of the Austin community as well as in partnering with other organizations.
