    We are teachers and former teachers, men and women, organizers and advocates – a diverse, enduring movement of over 30,000 strong for educational equity.

Leadership for Educational Equity (LEE) members are part of a movement of leaders who share an enduring commitment to educational equity and a deep belief in the potential of every child.

They are of diverse backgrounds and viewpoints, and bring a valuable perspective to education shaped by their experience teaching and leading in high-needs schools.

They are driven by the conviction that every child in every community across the nation should have the opportunity to earn an excellent education.
