Boston Education Justice Alliance
About Us
Boston Education Justice Alliance (BEJA) is an alliance of organizations, who together act in the pursuit of justice for students, families, and educators in the Boston Public School system by building a stronger and better public school system driven by community voices.
BEJA was originally founded in 2013 under the name Boston Truth Coalition as a response to the persistent educational disenfranchisement of communities of color as well as the encroaching privatization of public schools. The 21 member organizations of the coalition include educational equity advocacy groups, the Boston Teachers Union, and, most importantly, student and parent organizations including St. Stephen's Youth Programs, MassCOSH and others found here. BEJA is one of the founding members of the growing statewide coalition Massachusetts Education Justice Alliance (MEJA).
