Dive back into the critical conversation of school segregation and racial equity with the second installment of Appleseed's Virtual Roundtable Series.

This time, we're focusing on the intersection of housing, land use policies, and school segregation. We'll explore how these seemingly disparate elements are interlinked and impact the ongoing battle for racial equity and justice in our schools and communities.

After setting the stage with our June webinar, "The Road to Integration: School Segregation & the Ongoing Fight for Racial Equity," we're back to dig even deeper. This upcoming webinar is organized by NY Appleseed and Texas Appleseed, who are at the forefront of the contemporary struggle for integrated schools and communities.

In the area of education, he critically engages how educational resources and opportunities are hoarded.

His larger research interests include race and racism, gender justice, and community mobilization. He has lectured widely and has been a featured expert on the role of race in the contemporary political landscape, suburban and urban regional issues, as well as social justice.

Through educating, organizing, and shifting the narrative, The Redress Movement supports local communities in promoting and securing remedies for the intentionally discriminatory policies that segregate neighborhoods across the country.

Her work as Executive Director included leading the community engagement process for the City of New Orleans’ 2016 Assessment of Fair Housing plan – the first in the nation submitted under a 2015 rule requiring state and local governments to identify and address barriers to fair housing choice.
