We Are The Leaders
We Have Been Waiting For
The Alliance for Educational Justice is a national, youth-led movement building youth power to end state violence in schools and transform education into a space of safety, dignity, and liberation
How We Build Power
Organize → youth-led campaigns that challenge harm in schools and communities
Defend → rapid response to protect youth from state violence and support communities under attack
Transform → long-term strategies like police-free schools and abolitionist mental health
Our North Star
We fight for schools where youth are free from policing, punishment, and criminalization — and where care, dignity, and collective power define the future of education.
We believe every young person deserves protected rights that affirm their humanity: safety, care, and a voice in shaping the systems that shape their lives.
