Friends in Seattle! Please join G4GC and @Equity in Education Center for this exciting event!
Join us for an urgent and timely discussion with Dr. Monique Couvson, Ed.D., an award-winning author, social justice scholar, and national leader in advancing educational justice for Black girls. Recognized by TIME as a racial equity gap “Closer,” Dr. Couvson has spent nearly four decades working to dismantle systems that criminalize and push Black girls out of schools and into pathways of incarceration. Her groundbreaking research, including the acclaimed book and documentary Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools, has shaped national conversations about how schools can be places of healing, protection, and empowerment for Black girls. We will discuss: ? The vital role of schools in affirming and protecting the sacredness of Black girls. ? Strategies to resist the growing backlash against gender-specific and culturally relevant education. ? Advocacy tools and movement-building efforts to end the criminalization of Black girls in schools. After Dr. Couvson’s keynote, we’ll move into a dynamic conversation with Sharonne Navas, C.E.F., Co-Founder & Executive Director of the Equity in Education Center, and explore how we can take action together to create affirming, equitable educational spaces. ?? Date: March 18, 2025 ?? Location: PacMed Tower, Panoramic Room ?? Time: 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. ??? Lunch provided RSVP here: https://buff.ly/41vWO5q
