WHO WE ARE & OUR PARTNERS

nycASID is a burgeoning alliance composed of hundreds of parents, student activists, community members, community elders, social justice advocates, and any and all individuals interested in ensuring that NYC’s schools are meaningfully integrated and desegregated.

We are an OPEN group of DEDICATED individuals fighting for the undoing of school segregation, who:

  1. CONVENE regularly with each other and the public at monthly nycASID meetings

  2. WORK STRATEGICALLY within different committees to take action towards

    1. Engendering racial school integration and

    2. Creating the space for meaningful dialogue about topics that have been ignored for too long, such as

      • Northern liberal racism

      • Racial school integration in the North

      • Manifestation of white supremacy in NY'C’s educational settings

      • The effect of gentrification on racially marginalized communities

      • A vision of what true racial school integration could and should look like (with regards to racial student demographics in individual school buildings across the city and the city-wide adoption of anti-racist/anti-white supremacist curricula/school culture) in a city wherein white students make up only 13% to 17% of the total public school student population but are mostly segregated in individual schools where they make up more than 50% of the student population.

  3. EDUCATE the broader NYC community about

    1. The past and current state of racial school segregation in NYC

    2. How racial school segregation only continues to

      • Accelerate the growth of racial division, racism, white supremacy, and

      • Curtail any meaningful attempt at racial harmony in a city, state, country that was built on and grounded in a racial caste system.
