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.
