The NYC DOE continues to run a separate and unequal sports program. The PSAL. We lead the fight for equitable access to HS sports for Black and Latino students.

@nycpsal @NYCSchools @CurtisR450 @BeattheStreets The fall decision to restrict individual access means almost 200,000 students lost access to try out for a wrestling team.

🔥🎉🔥 Congrats on this win for sports equity! Thanks to student athlete activists and Fair Play members who have put the heat on PSAL to start ensuring equal access to sports. PSAL now plans to open its individual access program to every student by next spring!

Beyond words. Can’t believe how long we’ve been fighting for this— it’s here. I am so proud of my former students and the brave educators who have risked so much in order to drive change and ensure TRUE equity. This is historic. 👏🏽👏🏽 @fairplayNYC @nycletemplay @integratenyc

[NYCLetEmPlay @nycletemplay]

Every student in NYC will now have access to all sports offered by the PSAL! @AQE_NY @Teachers_Unite @MOREcaucusUFT @fairplayNYC @LA84Foundation @BeyondSport @ReynosoBrooklyn @BrandonCardet

My last story for the Daily News - an update on PSAL access, an issue I’ve been covering since journalism school.

By spring ‘23, PSAL will allow any HS student w/o a particular sport at their school to join that team at a nearby school: https://t.co/KGhxaDArRa

Remember when Bloomberg created a new school for white kids in Brooklyn, stuffed it into John Jay Campus, gave them 17 @nycpsal teams, & didn't allow the other schools to play on the teams. Listen to the unbelievable story @BellVoices @WNYCStudios @MiseducationPod @fairplayNYC
