Hi John,
We're just ONE DAY away from the BIGGEST night of AQE's year!
September brought a major win for public education: full funding for all New York schools as they kicked off the academic year. But, our work is far from over. Disparities between school districts are still shifting and evolving, and we’re not backing down!
It isn’t too late to join us at this year’s Champions of Education celebration, tomorrow, October 5, from 5:30 to 8:30pm ET at the Manny Cantor Center in New York City. It’s your chance to show some support to the incredible champions of education who have gone above and beyond for New York’s students.

Will you join us? We’re thrilled to celebrate these outstanding advocates as we come together to commemorate this historic milestone and anticipate lasting, meaningful change in the lives of all New York students and their families.
Our Honorees
- Congressman Jamaal Bowman, New York's 16th Congressional District
- Dr. Marian Bott, Education Finance Specialist at the NYS League of Women Voters
- Dr. John H. Jackson, President of the Schott Foundation & Cassie Schwerner, Executive Director of the Morningside Center
