Voices That Matter

The ASBA “Voices That Matter Campaign” was created to honor voices, emotions and experiences on racial injustice in the United States.
ASBA condemns racism and police brutality against black people. Along with our community, we mourn the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and the endless list of black lives lost as a direct result of racism, white supremacy, and systemic oppression.
Black, brown and other underrepresented voices in our schools must be amplified. This campaign is one opportunity to do this and help our staff and members express themselves and heal through these difficult times.

As I watch the social unrest spreading across our communities; it reminds me to focus on putting one of ASBA’s core beliefs into action. “Systemic inequities must be removed so every student achieves their fullest potential.” A child should never feel “less than”. Our children are our greatest resource and potential for a Respectful, Collaborative and Caring community; that demonstrates Empathy for those around us. Our children are watching. We must set the example of how to respectfully react and create Good Trouble, when we witness social injustice happening in our communities.
