¿Por qué debería importarnos?
La capacidad de SCS para brindar una educación equitativa y de calidad se ve socavada por la alta rotación de docentes y las vacantes docentes de un año, así como por las importantes deficiencias de mantenimiento dentro de las escuelas, todo lo cual conduce a mayores costos financieros, educativos y de salud. La falta de acceso a servicios integrales proporcionados por trabajadores sociales, psicólogos y enfermeras calificados inhibe el tratamiento exitoso del trauma o las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia (ACE). El abuso, la negligencia y el trauma aumentan significativamente la probabilidad de suspensiones, comportamiento delictivo juvenil y encarcelamiento. Con una mediana de edad cuatro años por debajo del promedio nacional, la población de Memphis puede apoyar el desarrollo económico, pero solo si brindamos a los niños de nuestra comunidad acceso a oportunidades y apoyo.

At a time when so many are feeling targeted and alone, we have a chance to show up with care and action. That’s why different organizations are coming together to canvas neighborhoods across Memphis, especially those with large immigrant populations.
We’ll be walking door to door to share “Know Your Rights” flyers, emergency prep resources, and information on what to do if someone is caught in an immigration raid or held in detention. We’re also offering rapid response contacts and support networks that can make all the difference in a moment of crisis.
We need you! Whether you’ve canvassed before or this is your…
