What is it about?
This article takes puts two different studies into conversation with each other. The first part is about parent organizing and the second is about youth organizing. In the third part of the article, we discuss what we learn about organizing work from these two studies. Specifically, we highlight how Black women have been central to a lot of organizing work, and we discuss how political education typically occurs outside of the walls of the classroom.

Why is it important?
Black and brown youth continue to struggle to get the quality education that they deserve. This article reminds readers of the importance of organizing in their own communities to make needed changes. Importantly, it shows that we have the power to make change in our local communities in spite of what is happening in government.
Perspectives
I love how my co-author and I were able to take two different pieces of work and co-construct a narrative around the intersections. Reading each other's work helped me to make even more sense of my own and its significance in larger organizing efforts.
