A growing alliance of Grass-roots Community, Youth and Parent driven organizations successfully petitioned the Department of Education in November 2012 for a hearing on the civili rights impact of school interventions. Scheduled for January 29th 2013, the alliance of parents and community leaders from Chicago, New Orleans, Oakland, Los Angeles, Boston, New York City, Baltimore, Dallas, Atlanta, District of Columbia, Detroit, Philadelphia, Wichita, Newark, Wilmington, Delaware, Kansas City and Eureka Mississippi will gather together to talk and truly listen. History teaches us that when we Journey For Justice peaceably progress comes. It is in this vein that a coalition of Grassroots Community, Youth and Parent driven organizations will travel by bus to testify, as their Journey For Justice predecessors did decades before them. Parents and persons from the communities affected will speak at the inquiry. J4J2 is asking for donations here to help defray the cost of their travel.
