When We Fight, We Win! The Podcast

Episode 6 ‘The Sabotage of Black Education: The Fight Against Rahm Emanuel to Save Dyett High School’ features Chicago’s very own, #JituBrown. #JituBrown is the National Director of Journey 4 Justice. Journey 4 Justice fights against harmful school closures and works to DEFEND public education. They have an educational platform rooted in anti-racist work and educational equity.

School privatization has failed in improving the educational outcomes for young people and Journey 4 Justice believes in the end to school closings, turnarounds, phase-outs, and charter expansion. The continued closures of our public schools illustrates the segregation and institutionalized racism deeply rooted in white supremacy that is apparent in our public school system today.

In Episode 6, Jitu emphasizes the importance of the expansion of sustainable community schools. Journey 4 Justice has begun organizing campaigns at the local and federal level for sustainable community schools and their call is for 25,000 sustainable community schools by 2025.

How can we achieve a moratorium on school privatization? Jitu reflects on how the work of organizer’s is to create a space where people can begin to envision what they want to see and then create the experiences where people begin to win. And as we win, we get stronger. #WhenWeFightWeWin

Episode 6 is now available across all podcast streaming platforms.
