What if math felt like play? On our latest blog, 2023 National Teacher of the Year Rebecka Peterson invites us to rethink how we approach math, not as a subject reserved for the “gifted,” but as a universal language full of creativity and connection.

The so-called One Big Beautiful Bill is a full-on attack on public education and the communities we serve.

This is our chance to fight back and prove that they shouldn’t count us out. Contact your Senators ASAP:

At the state and local level, decision-makers continue to push legislation to restrict students’ access to honest history and a diversity of voices. But EdTrust Louisiana remains steadfast in the fight for equity and justice. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

We're tracking what’s moving at the Capitol because students deserve policies rooted in equity not politics. Stay tuned & stay engaged. #LAlege #EdTrustLA #ChalkTalk 🧠✏️

Today we remember the brave souls who gave everything so that others could speak out, stand up, and serve.

Their sacrifice makes it possible for us to fight for equity and justice in every Louisiana classroom.

We honor them by continuing the work.

#HB685 is up for debate in the House today. This bill would ban diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across state agencies and campuses; even classes on systemic racism or gender identity.

Contact your representative now and ask them to vote NO. #LaLege #NoOnHB685 #LaGov

🚨 Tomorrow at 9:30 AM, the House & Governmental Affairs Committee will hear HB 421 — a bill that would eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion in Louisiana’s state agencies.

Tramelle Howard, Ed Trust LA State Director, urges you to show up, tune in, or make your voice heard.

[The Education Trust in Louisiana @EdTrustLA]

House Bill 421 is a direct threat to progress in Louisiana.

We cannot stay silent. Speak up. Call your representatives. Take action.

House Bill 421 would abolish ALL DEI programs in Louisiana state agencies — including jobs, staff, and policies. It even requires agencies to submit proof they’ve done it… so the Governor can decide what to cut next #StopHB421#ProtectDEI #EquityMatters #EdTrustLA #ChalkTalk
