AISR staff provide research, training, and logistical support to the New York City Coalition for Educational Justice (CEJ) in New York City, a citywide coalition of parent- and community-led neighborhood collaboratives.
An article by Dana Goldstein (LadyWonk), Why Not Occupy The Schools? The Failures Of Bloomberg’s School Reform Agenda, published online in The Awl (11/16/11) mentions the organizing efforts of CEJ, includes a photo of Zakiyah Ansari (a CEJ organizer) and Mili Bonilla (AISR staff), as well as quotes from Jose Gonzalez, who helped produce AISR's Parent Power film. …”Parent activists represented by organizations like the Coalition for Educational Justice and the Alliance for Quality Education aren’t happy about the growth of the charter school sector, about the ideology of “school choice” more generally, and about test score-based accountability for teachers and schools.”
