Why should we care?
SCS’s ability to provide a quality, equitable education is being undercut by high teacher turnover and year-long teaching vacancies, as well as significant maintenance deficiencies within the schools, all of which leads to higher financial, educational, and health costs. A lack of access to wraparound services provided by qualified social workers, psychologists, and nurses inhibits the successful treatment of trauma or Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE). Abuse, neglect, and trauma significantly increase the likelihood of suspensions, juvenile criminal behavior, and incarceration. With a median age four years below the national average, Memphis’s population can support economic development, but only if we provide children in our community access to opportunities and support.

About the event
Gamaliel leaders will be coming together virtually to discuss how we can work together more effectively to advance human rights in the coming months. Immigrants, formerly incarcerated people, and religious leaders will be sharing powerful testimonies and powerful solutions. We will be hearing about how communities across the country are being impacted by the pervasive violation of due process rights and how Gamaliel affiliates are fighting back and winning in some instances. The importance of justice reinvestment, voter engagement initiatives, base building, political education, and shifting harmful narratives will be emphasized. Breakout sessions and large group discussions will give leaders and organizers opportunities to develop strategic plans for base building and to produce ideas for powerful collaborative actions at the state and local levels. In addition, we will start discussing what it would look like if we come together to do a national solidarity action. Webinar is from 6-8pm on…
