Notes from Marla
As schools reopen across the nation you will see that organizations in
the NPE Grassroots Education Network are providing valuable information,
webinars, and virtual Town Halls for their community. Again, the
purpose of this newsletter has always been about harvesting great ideas
from others, or connecting with others who are able to mobilize their
communities for the greater good. I hope as you read the August
newsletter you will get inspiring ideas on school re openings (whatever
that model looks like) and ways to support families. The network
lost an amazing organizer and true education warrior this month. NJ
organizer, PULSE NJ (Newark) Co-founder, and member of the Journey for
Justice family Johnnie Lattner passed away this month. We will never
forget his service to the New Jersey community and the example he set in
his fight for justice. Please read the powerful tribute to his life from Jitu Brown, National Director of Journey for
Justice Alliance.
