Private schools in our community are open for in-person instruction; all students deserve the same access to education

OUR STORIES
WHO WE ARE
We are part of a national movement of parents, health professionals, equity advocates and allies working to open public schools for the mental health and educational needs of our children.
As pre-K - 12 Berkeley Unified School District parents, we are advocating to open our schools for live in-person instruction as soon as possible.
