The National Equity Project

I had never heard of this organization until I got an e-​mail regarding a free screening of «Favela Rising» at the Parkway Theaters in Oakland. The Bay Area Coalition for Equitable Schools (BAYCES) was a sponsor of this screening — the film is a documentary about a community that rallies together as a force for change — an idea that BAYCES sees as similar to what they do.
BAYCES mission is «to dramatically improve educational experiences, outcomes, and life options for students and families who have been historically underserved by their schools and districts.» How can you rate that anything less than five stars? Any organization that strives to better education is one that I am behind, 100%.
As Whitney Houston once sang, «I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way.» Here’s to a brighter future :)
