Integrate Austin

We are a coalition of students working to change the school system to retire segregation in our schools!

@RepMcCaul school segregation hurts our children and communities. This is why @AustinISD requested federal funding for school integration. Support Austin public schools and your community by voting YES for H.R.2639! #StrengthInDiversity

A6: This is the part of the event that we get to shower our amazing youth leaders w/praise! @integratenyc & @TeensTakeCharge students & adult allies are doing amazing COVID response work. Our belief in the 5R framework grows as they navigate this moment. #ThurgoodWasRight 1/2

#CriticalRaceTheory I wrote this piece, Education as Property, that takes Cheryl Harris' seminal work Whiteness as Property and analogizes it to how educational access is propertized against Black and Brown families and children. https://t.co/RwCaUDlN9e

Q1: Marshall's dissent in #Milliken predicted that district boundaries would serve as “fences to separate the races,” & exacerbate inequity. 46 years later, has that proven to be true where you live? How so? (If you're not sure, do a quick google search!) #ThurgoodWasRight

@anoatman @ClaireMcInerny @GinaForAustin @terrancelgreen Board needs to to hear from consitituents that segregation like this in our district is unacceptable. Board members have known about this level of segregation for years but choose to live with status quo because it’s easier than messing with West Austin power and privilege

[Integrate Austin @IntegrateAISD]

@anoatman @ClaireMcInerny @GinaForAustin @terrancelgreen I wrote both the report through Rep Hinojosa’s office and IUPRA. We are coming out with a brief with policy recommendations shortly. Other districts are using innovative enrollment policies to address this issue and we could too. https://t.co/SIiiQGjqsG

“They’re thinking they’re superior because when they go to AP classes and they’re the only ones there, and they look and see who is being punished, they get the sense of entitlement, and I want to call it a psychosis that somehow there is something inherently superior in them.”

[Claire McInerny @ClaireMcInerny]

Schools In Travis County Are Not Just Segregated. They're The Most Segregated In The State.

A new study from @IUPRA shows that Black, Hispanic and White students in @AustinISD and Trav Co have drastically different experiences at school

To Avoid Integration, Americans Built Barricades in Urban Space - Urban inequality didn’t happen by accident. https://t.co/6UzAaAnl9k

[Ricardo @panafrico]

For real though. There’s white parents taking their children to BLM protests who refuse to take their children to the predominantly Black schools in their gentrified neighborhood. This is concerning. #austinprotests
