Activists Committed To Interrupting Oppression Now
In 2006, a Black mother in Ithaca, sued the Ithaca City School District (ICSD) after their lack of responsiveness to her complaints about the racial bullying her daughter was receiving at school. A group of activists who had long worked to address racism came together to discuss how we could support this mom. After our third meeting, we named ourselves A.C.T.I.O.N.
We've now been meeting for almost two decades advocating for ICSD and community to address all forms of racism.
The Kirby Edmonds ACTION Award for Social Justice honors the work of young people who also carry this passion.
