“Lift Us Up, Don’t Push Us Out! is a bold and exciting book that presents the stories we never hear — powerful stories of successful grassroots organizing in schools and communities across the nation led by parents, students, educators, and allies. The lessons we can learn from these inspiring activists and campaigns need to be spread far and wide.”
Karen Lewis, Chicago Teachers Union President
“Each one of the essays in “Lift Us Up” is a tour de force. You are captivated by the passion, the fury, the courage, the honesty, and the determination that is expressed so brilliantly by the writers, each who have found a way, by working arm-in-arm with others, to fight for educational justice for all children. I plan to assign this book to all of my students to bring the powerful and authentic voices of these parent and community movement leaders into my classroom.”
Karen Mapp, Senior Lecturer on Education at the Harvard School of Education
