The California Partnership for the Future of Learning is a statewide alliance of community organizing and advocacy groups advancing a shared vision of racially just relationship-centered community schools. We confront the historical legacy and generational impact of inequitable schooling in California, and the country, to birth a transformational education system built for us all.
Our work together centers equity, elevates the voices of students and families of color in partnership with educators, focuses on long-term systemic change, and connects to a larger national effort to strengthen public education systems.
The California Partnership is anchored by Californians for Justice, Catalyst California, PICO California Education 4 Liberation (Inland Congregations United for Change, Orange County Congregation Community Organization, Sacramento ACT & True North Organizing Network) and Public Advocates, with the support of Building Healthy Communities – Kern, Building Healthy Communities – Monterey County, Community Coalition, InnerCity Struggle, and dozens of additional grassroots, research and education allies.
We build on the important work of a broad cross-section of organizations and coalitions by advancing the following priorities:
- Equitable & Full Funding
- Student & Family Power
- Schools of Belonging & Inclusion
- Student-Centered Deeper Learning
- Diverse, Prepared, Supported Educators
And we work through these key strategies:
