“Data does not lie!” 👏🏽👏🏽 CJ Nellum EdTrust-West

“I believe in public schools. I would not be in this type of work if I didn’t believe in our schooling system. We must continue to push and advocate for more funding from the state,” said CJ Nellum from EdTrust-West #Birthto12thGrade

In Sacramento today for Catalyst California’s #Birthto12th Water Cooler Conference. Looking forward to opening the day as a panelist reflecting on California’s education landscape and what’s needed. Please say hello if you’re here!

Ask a young person about the top issues they care about — climate change is one of them. Everything that students should reap from education is compromised by the consequences of climate change, which is why #edequity must include Climate Justice. @edtrust edtrust.org/p/63237
