“This [Members of Color group] actively reaches out to us, encouraging participation in events that were traditionally majority-white spaces. It fosters a sense of belonging and strengthens connections among members of color across the state, making me feel more connected to my union. MOC has empowered me in ways I never anticipated; it ignited my voice. I now feel confident running for leadership positions, participating in decision-making processes, and attending conferences I previously didn’t know existed.”

“It makes sense that these educators who choose to do something radically different—who choose these students—are the same people saying we can and have to use our power as unionized educators to make something different happen!...In the end, we’re doing this because we care about our communities. We care about our students and families. And we care about each other.”
