Welcome!
We are glad you are here to learn about our organization. Please reach out any time if you have more questions.
Formed in the spring of 2020, this grassroots organization of Scotch Plains-Fanwood parents united to do the work to get more representation, equity, anti-racism and literary diversity in our school district.
Once the group of volunteers was formed, fellow parents, allies, neighbors and other community members were invited to join in -- and they did.
Our group works with others in our community to achieve common goals, but are our own entity.
We aren't only parents.
All are welcome to join!
