Education Action!, a nonprofit organization founded by Jonathan Kozol, was intended to be a US national support structure aiming to help stem the flight of teachers from underfunded and racially segregated schools. Through Education Action, Kozol aims to mobilize teachers (along with parents, students, and other concerned citizens) into a movement of national proportions that will enable their voices to be heard in the public policy arena.
Education Action! is a resource for education activists who are looking to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations that are pursuing various education reform efforts.
