2020 has been an incredibly challenging year for communities across the globe. In the US, we immediately saw the disproportionate impacts of Covid-19 on Black and Brown communities due to deep-seated systems of oppression and racism. We then had to reckon with the senseless murders of mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters due to the dehumanization of Black lives.
Amid a global pandemic and global racial awakening, we were challenged to answer the following question: How do we build a better world for our children and generations to come?
LiberatED seeks to answer that question through the development of a learning platform that supports the innovative, community-based, and liberatory learning environments that our children deserve.
We're recruiting families for our next pilot. If you're interested, complete this form by February 10.

The Proudest Blue: A Story of Hijab and Family
With her new backpack and light-up shoes, Faizah knows the first day of school is going to be special. It's the start of a brand new year and, best of all, it's her older sister Asiya's first day of hijab--a hijab of beautiful blue fabric, like the ocean waving to the sky. But not everyone sees hijab as beautiful, and in the face of hurtful, confusing words, Faizah will find new ways to be strong.
