Since 2018, Leaders of Color has supported more than 200 Black and Latinx leaders who are serving their communities in elected and civic leadership positions - all in an effort to close education equity gaps.
Many key issues are dominating the conversation in the lead up to the 2024 elections. However, one critical issue that directly impacts the future of our communities has been missing -- Education. Check out our recent blog post 🔗in bio.
