Public Education Grants
Founded in 1972, the American Institute for Social Justice (AISJ) provides training and technical assistance in organizing principles and methods, as well as administrative assistance to grassroots organizations attempting to operate on shoestring budgets. In the coming year, AISJ will provide support to alliance-building activities between ACORN chapters and NEA and AFT affiliates, on the local, state and national levels. The ACORN Parent/Community/Teacher Alliance Building Project seeks to strengthen the relationship between ACORN and the national teachers unions through individual relationships, as well as opportunities to participate together in national and regional meetings. The project is further dedicated to developing high profile national initiatives and model programs to call for increased resources for public education. A grant of $30,000 awarded from Hazen over the coming year will help to develop ACORN’s national education organizing initiative and promote greater collaboration between education organizing groups and their allies to foster development of a national movement and collective agenda for constituency-driven school reform, rooted in the values of equity and accountability.
