We thank our community partners who are committed to advancing equity in the state of Arizona by implementing our ALL In for EQUITY Framework within their organizational structure. Adopting the framework means our community partners are committed to supporting policies, practices and programs that position low-income families and communities of color in Arizona to thrive.
Take Our Pledge
The ALL In for EQUITY Framework will ensure we ask critical questions, assess data, and engage the community to increase educational attainment for Latino students, students of color, and low-income families. By signing this pledge, our community partners allow ALL In Education to publicly acknowledge their commitment to advancing equity in Arizona.
Â
Arizona Latino students are the fastest-growing demographic block in the state, representing 46% of the overall student population. The economic success of our state depends on their achievement. Additionally, Arizona low-income families and communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by inequitable policies, practices and programs for far too long. These inequities have spanned issues like education, workforce development, housing, immigration, healthcare, and have resulted in large populations of disconnected and disengaged youth of color in our state.
