We are a youth-led movement building an education system that is by us, for us.
“My hope for LA schools is that they will one day be a place where any student; no matter their background or zip code, will be able to go to receive a quality education.”
“Being a student was really hard. It felt like we didn’t have opportunities and resources. The opportunities that we did get felt very limited and we had to fight for them.”

Our Agenda
We are a coalition of students and activists. We are not raising our hands for permission, we’re raising our hands to demand change.
Want to know what drives us? Our belief that achieving equity in education can’t wait.
The solutions we employ are as diverse and audacious as our members. We galvanize bold truth-tellers, shift power by creating proximity to young people for system leaders, and identify actionable solutions for one of the greatest issues of our time.
