“Too often, the underfunded districts serve more students of color, while the better-funded districts enroll predominately white students and benefit from generations of housing policy that built up the wealth levels—and property tax base—in white neighborhoods.” The latest report from New America shows where racial and economic divides between neighboring school districts are the deepest, and explains the racial injustice behind these geographies of inequity.

Fact: Stable housing greatly enhances students' academic success at all levels. It’s #FactFriday, and today, let's delve into the crucial link between housing and children's well-being. According to the Urban Institute’s Housing Matters Initiative, over 17 million youth under 18 live in households burdened by housing costs, leaving little for essential needs like food, transportation, and healthcare. Uncertainty about where to sleep at night can disrupt a child's learning and overall stability. Eviction filings and frequent moves can result in lower school attendance and academic performance. Even minor housing issues like overcrowding can impede a child's ability to learn effectively. When you support Better Housing Coalition through Stay Home RVA, you're investing in brighter educational futures for over 500 youth in our communities. Make a difference today at StayHomeRVA.org! #StayHomeRVA #AffordableHousing #Youth

Social justice cannot be achieved without putting an end to child labor and safeguarding the wellbeing of all children. The goal of Al Karam Towel Industries (Pvt.) Ltd is to create a society in which all children are protected from exploitation and given equal chances to succeed. Every child has to be given the opportunity to grow, study, and prioritize their education. According to this year's theme "Let's act on our commitments: End Child Labour" signifies action towards eradicating child labor. It urges to honor their pledges through tangible measures, such as enforcing strict policies, empowering communities, and promoting education. The initiative hopes to establish a future where children are free from exploitation and can thrive in safe and nurturing environments. #childlabour#stopchildlabour #children #education #worlddayagainstchildlabour #humanrights #poverty #antichildlabourday #school#savethechild #letschangethestory
