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.

Equipping people of faith and goodwill to organize communities for systemic change through collective action.

Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground

This photo in Tyre Nichols’ online photography portfolio stood out to me as I have been stuck on the words in Genesis, “And the Lord said, 'What have you done? Listen; your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.'”

Please take a moment today, and look at his photography, and see that he was so much more than the name of a man who was brutally killed.
