Let's do better, not meaner

We support ALL kids. This means we stand up:

​

  • for trans kids when CEC members question their right to exist,

  • for kids who CEC members have dismissed due to the color of their skin,

  • for kids with IEPs getting all the supports they need,

  • for migrant kids getting the services they need to flourish in a new place.

 

We believe all kids can and should be challenged to excel in school. This isn't a zero sum game - we can support all kids. Join us!

We have the receipts.

5 things PLACE supported CEC members did that might surprise you:

​

1. Refused to disavow support or affiliation with Moms for Liberty (an extremist group associated with bomb threats to children's hospitals and schools) (reso 243)

2. "Questioned" the right of trans girls to play sports (reso 248) (The DOE disowned this resolution because it goes against established policy.)

3.  Against monitoring and reporting indoor air quality in schools (reso 239)

4. Against funds for education programs after COVID funding expired (reso 249)

5. Against providing support for addressing lice in schools (reso 256)

6. (Bonus) Against allowing the two student representatives' votes to count (reso 265)

The full CEC voting record.

​

And that's not all:

 

Recently ​Congress Members Nadler and Goldman, Council Member Bottcher & other local elected officials wrote a letter to the DOE with deep concerns regarding the D2 CEC majority's quorum obstruction, unexcused absences, and violations of public transparency laws.

We support CEC candidates who will show up & stand up for:

  • Smaller class sizes

  • Safe classrooms

  • Fully-funded schools

  • Anti-racism

  • Students with disabilities / IEPs

  • English language learners / ELL

  • Students in temporary housing

  • LGBTQIA+ students
