Justice</span> </h1> </div><!-- page-banner --> <div class="page-content"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Learning for Justice has begun a process of repositioning itself to be more responsive to the communities we serve in our Deep South states. LFJ will continue to work with educators, caregivers and other community members to protect inclusive public education across our states – and ultimately our nation. </p><p>As you know, the public education space is dynamic, requiring constant and sustained innovation. But sometimes to meet the needs of today, change must be substantial, not incremental. For the last several years, LFJ has been on this journey. It began with changing the program’s name from Teaching Tolerance because we recognized that concept was no longer seen as effective, and that our work and strategies must transform. </p><p>The need to expand LFJ’s reach beyond educators to the community at large is more evident now than ever. We must counter the efforts by a reactionary group of politically motivated parents and politicians determined to undermine public education. As a result, we will work to prepare community members – including parents and caregivers – to advocate for change that is meaningful to the lives of young people. They will speak to issues that are most pressing for children of color in low-income communities. This requires us to be more intentional about where we do this work, going into cities and counties where children of color face the greatest obstacles. </p><p>We recognize that schools exist within communities. The role of LFJ’s community of educators has been transformative in leading inclusive learning environments. We are taking a more comprehensive approach to ensure that schools and other community supports have what they need to best serve the needs of young people and that leadership in these spaces, including educators, have what they need to lead a more just society. </p><p>We are working to create a shared online learning space that curates existing LFJ resources for educators and new resources for the larger community. We invite educators to remain a vital part of the larger dialogue and learning, which is critical to building a more inclusive democracy. Please rest assured that the articles, lesson plans, curriculums and more found on our website are not going anywhere. They will continue to be available. </p><p>We will have more information soon.</p><p><em>[July 2024]</em></p></div> </div> <div class="bookmark-bar"> <div class="flag-bookmark anon"> <a href="/login?destination=/profile" class="login-register" rel="nofollow"> <span>Bookmark This Page</span><span class="mobile" aria-hidden="true">Save</span></a> </div> <div class="bookmark-tray container"> <div class="footer-cta"> <div class="cta-text"> <h2>Sign in to save these resources.</h2> <p>Login or create an account to save resources to your bookmark collection.</p> </div> <div class="cta-links"> <a class="button ghost" href="/login?destination=/profile">LOGIN</a> <a class="button ghost blue" href="/register">CREATE ACCOUNT</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <div id="block-signupfornewsletterfooterblock" class="block block-tt-blocks block-tt-blocks-newsletter-signup-footer newsletter"> <div class="container"> <div class="tt-newsletter-signup"> <h3 class="tt-newsletter-signup-title">Get the Learning for Justice Newsletter</h3> <form id="tt-newsletter-signup-form" onsubmit="window.location='/newsletter/signup?interest=newsletter&email=' + ttnewslettersignupforminput.value;return false;" class="search-block-form"> <div class="input-wrapper"> <label for="ttnewslettersignupforminput">Enter your email to get started</label> <input id="ttnewslettersignupforminput" type="email" required> <input type="submit" value="I'm In"> </div> </form> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="site-footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="site-footer__right"> </div> <div class="site-footer__info"> <div id="block-social" class="block block-menu-block block-menu-blocksocial site-footer__social"> <ul class="menu"> <li class="menu-item donate"> <a href="https://secure.splcenter.org/page/78232/donate/1" title="Donate" class="button-outline">Donate</a> </li> <li class="menu-item facebook"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LearningforJustice/" title="Facebook">Facebook</a> </li> <li class="menu-item instagram"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/learningforjustice/" title="Instagram">Instagram</a> </li> <li class="menu-item youtube"> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TeachingTolerance" title="YouTube">YouTube</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div id="block-footer" class="block block-block-content block-block-content30c05f12-b7ef-4d66-8e65-a02dab17b5df"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><ul><li><a href="/contact">Contact Us</a></li><li><a href="/privacy-policy">Privacy</a></li><li><a href="https://www.splcenter.org/about/careers/jobs" target="_blank" title="Careers with the SPLC and Teaching Tolerance">Careers</a></li><li><a href="/accessibility">Accessibility</a></li></ul><p>A project of the <a href="https://www.splcenter.org" target="_blank">Southern Poverty Law Center</a> ©1991-2024</p><style type="text/css">.tb_button {padding:1px;cursor:pointer;border-right: 1px solid #8b8b8b;border-left: 1px solid #FFF;border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;}.tb_button.hover {borer:2px outset #def; background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}.ws_toolbar {z-index:100000} .ws_toolbar .ws_tb_btn {cursor:pointer;border:1px solid #555;padding:3px} .tb_highlight{background-color:yellow} .tb_hide {visibility:hidden} .ws_toolbar img {padding:2px;margin:0px} </style></div> </div> </div> </footer> <script> window.profileImage = '<img src="https://www.learningforjustice.org/themes/custom/ts_ttol/img/icons/profile.svg" alt="Profile">'; </script> </div> <script type="application/json" data-drupal-selector="drupal-settings-json">{"path":{"baseUrl":"\/","pathPrefix":"","currentPath":"node\/179827","currentPathIsAdmin":false,"isFront":false,"currentLanguage":"en"},"pluralDelimiter":"\u0003","suppressDeprecationErrors":true,"data":{"extlink":{"extTarget":true,"extTargetNoOverride":false,"extNofollow":true,"extNoreferrer":false,"extFollowNoOverride":false,"extClass":"0","extLabel":"(link is external)","extImgClass":false,"extSubdomains":true,"extExclude":"","extInclude":"(.One.World.(.*\\.jpg$|.*\\.png$|.*\\.pdf$))","extCssExclude":".rrssb-buttons","extCssExplicit":"","extAlert":false,"extAlertText":"This link will take you to an external web site.
