Organizing for Educational Justice tells the story of CC9 from its origins in 1995 as a small group of concerned parents to the citywide application of its reform agenda ten years later. As urban parents search for ways to hold public schools accountable for their failures, this book shows how the success of the CC9 experience can be replicated elsewhere around the country.

Reviews

“It is impossible to read this book without having tremendous admiration for all those who participated in the Campaign–their intelligence, their caring, their perseverance, their commitment to public education. In an era where public institutions are under attack, CC9 had a vision for public spaces where ordinary citizens could exercise their essential democratic rights and responsibilities. In carving out that space, South Bronx parents were able to make schools a little more accountable to their dreams for their children.” –Eva Gold of Research for Action, Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare
